Perfect colors,clarity and capture!!!

Marietha, it's been some time since I've stopped to comment on any of your images, though I've certainly spotted your OOBS and marvelled over them...just don't have as much time these days to comment on everything I'd like to...but I just HAD to stop here and tell you what a fantastic job you did on this one...it has everything ~ beautiful color, clarity, lighting, texture, and a very appealing subject with wonderful markings posing for you...I am thoroughly enjoying it on my desktop and faving it as well...well done girl and thanks for sharing it with us.

Just a beautiful bird and you have made it even more beautiful. I love the colors and the clarity is outstanding. I hope I get it in VB 10+ in my book. Going straight to Favs.

Wonderful image. A rare bird.

Marietha, some times ago your mother had posted a wonderful image of a hornbill. Like to say however that this one is a stunning image too. Captured and prsented in a perfect way. Great job my friend!
Regards, Cornelius.

Very cool capture!

These birds look so eccentric, & you've captured this character so well Marietha.

Kewl! Never seen one of these, and I probably never will.

Thanks for such a clear shot.

Just after I think I have seen every kind of bird there is, up pops another one. Beautiful bird.

Just lovely, Marietha. There are those nice warm colors again and the background just heightens the beauty of the shot. Wonderful comp too.

Incredible quality here. Impeccable details, and coloring is, as far as I can tell, perfect. This belongs in a book or on a wall. Kudos. +faves

How in the world did I miss this Beauty!?. Outstanding photo with perfect lighting, framaing and of course this most beautiful bird Marietha. faves also.

I feel somewhat qualified in giving an opinion on "bird photography" ... May I say Marietha, this image was well worth checking out and I'm thankful I did not completely miss doing so. You don't have to be a "bird fancier" to appreciate this wonderful capture ... but being one as I am ... this posting provokes comments such as this one ... long-winded :) Extremely well done dear Lady.

i saw some of these while i was in africa, but this far surpasses anything. you added to the bird's coloring with the frame. wonderful detail.

Very good capture! Crisp and well-composed.

Beautiful image.
