Thats a lovely image. The eyes and the beak have come out well. Am not sure, but is it a full grown hornbill?

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks Murugan, this is a Juvenile

Nice eye contact & pose.Image appears bit over-sharpened to me.TFS

[Mrudul Godbole]

The 'V' shaped branch looks nice. Good head turn and eye contact. Agree reducing the sharpening would be good. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Image ! Nice composition. Great to see the juvenile, was its mother nearby?

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Nice one. A higher shutter speed and critical focus on the eye would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
