Hi Sandy, Thanks for your helpful comments on my photos. I plan to redo some of them to substitute for the original posts. I like the space you've allowed around the hornbills, giving them the appearance of seeing them at mid-distance. I wish the sky weren't so uniformly blue, but you had no choice, and there's lots of blue sky at Kruger. I may be posting one of mine of the same species later on, taken northeast of Joberg. Ron

Nice...I particularly like the way the heads are so perfectly uniform. Birds are well placed in the frame.

Nice work getting both of these sharp in the frame Sandy. Also like both head turns and placement in the frame.

Wonderful composition Sandy, very neat looking birds. Your DOF worked out well with stopping down to f/16. Nice capture.

Nice to get two with both of them in decent focus, Sandy. I like the way they're both looking in the same direction.
