Von der Decken's Hornbill
A bird I have not come across before. In my ignorance I just assumed it was a variety of Toucan.
I feel fortunate to have ben able to capture it with my lens.

I felt very fortunate to capture this beautiful bird. I have not heard of this bird before and in my ignorance assumed it was a Toucan variety.

Hi, Don!
Beautiful photo!
The mood is nice, the pose, and I like very much the composition and color.
For me, the only problem I see is that the hair blends with no separarion with the background.
Maybe a subtle rimlight should be needed.
Regarding of the pose, both forearms are perfectly symmetrical.
Maybe I would try to crop from above and left.
Overall, I think I prefer the second one, there is more connection when she is looking at the camera.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks! The blending into the background was intentional. I actually liked it better. Added more mystery. Zero distractions to the subject. Crop was to taste. Didn't want her falling out of frame on the left
