Great Hornbill in flight.
It was a grab shot...didn't get much time to change the settings.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

nice details, maybe the right wing it is too close to the left border but that's a minor.

Nice grab Jagdeep, a cool looking bird. Perhaps a bit dark underneath, but lightening it would probably introduce noise.
