- Beautiful colors and details! - -clicking-
A Red-knobbed hornbill. My new favorite bird posing for me.
Not sure if it's the intelligent eyes, the beautiful colors or the fact that he clearly banged his head a few too many times during his life.

There you go putting make-up on birds again...
Incredibly sharp and detailed. There is so much dimension in this with the DOF you chose.
You should have this printed on a metallic paper Alan. It would make this pop even more than it already does.
