Nice composition. The bird is clearly the star in this image with no distractions at all. The catchlight in the eye and seeds in the bill of the bird adds to the image. Is this the Great Hornbill? Posted: 10/13/2025 18:11:29
A good clear shot of the bird . Is it a "Trumpeter Hornbill " .? More camera/lens details are recommended if available. Posted: 10/14/2025 06:18:07
I like it. I think darking the background and adding a little color saturation to the bird would help show it off and make this a very special image.
I did spent about 5 minutes editing and was able to produce this. Cropped, reduced highlights, saturated colors, darkened background, brought out detail in the bird. Posted: 10/25/2025 17:33:41

Doug, maybe a little too much saturation, but improved Posted: 10/26/2025 15:13:06
Vivek, this is a bird we do not have in the Americas. I did see another variety in Tanzania. I like the position of the bird on the tree stump. It is sharp. Posted: 10/26/2025 15:14:43
