Thanks Nico! This was my homage to Audubon shot! I wish I had exotic birds like your Hornbill to photograph but I'll have to settle for the ones that are available for now. Wish I had your equipment though! :-) CJ
Thanks for the Hornbill comment, CJ. And there is absolutely nothing inferior about the Blackbird. To the contrary, I think you achieved a much sharper, in-focus, elegant shot. The coloured patch on the wing is simply fabulous. ~jnconradie
