Shot these while cruising on the lake with friends.
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.

The only suggestion I would make it to straighten the corner of the building to make the center of the image vertical. With most architectural photos, you'd want all the vertical lines of the building to be straight up and down, but when the camera is pointed almost straight up, this is impossible.
Personally, I use a rule of thumb that I made up myself: If I can see the horizon (or where the horizon would be) anywhere in the image, I use perspective correction tools to straighten all the vertical lines. If I aimed so high that the horizon is well outside the edges of the composition, then I attempt only to make sure the camera is level and that is obvious when any vertical line going through the center of the frame is straight up and down. All lines to the left and right of the center will converge toward the top of the image.
In this case, the corner of the building nearest you is leaning a bit to the right and I would rotate the image slightly to the left to correct it.
Good tones and contrast, too!
Great tips!! I really appreciate it!
I like this image a lot too, Cristian! I agree point for point with Phillip. Let's see more like this from you.
PS The colours are fine here! ;-)
Thank you Chris! I will try to post more like this. However, I do not have many of the genre yet, since I am not an architectural photographer.
