The Great Hornbill of Western Ghats

[Sadananda Koppalkar]

Shot at Annamalais
ISO400, FL 450mm, f/8.0, SS 1/400

Waited for atleast 20 min for it to take off and finally it was a pleasure to my eyes and my lens to capture such a wonderful creation of nature and god.

Lovely shot. Always a pleasure to watch this majestic bird, let alone photograph it :). I like the angle of the shot, even though the bird is moving away from you. Nicely done. TFS

Nice one. It is good that the wings are completely down. It would have been even better if it would have moved parallel or out of the frame. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
