Got this female Tarictic Hornbill last Saturday in Subic with Rey, Alain, and Olan. The original shot shows a pair but the male (he was on the right) was in no way of helping the shot so I decided cropping him out would be better. The birds were at a distance and this was the best angle we could find. Wished the light was better and that branch at the bottom wasn't there but I think this is my first usable photo of the female so it's a keeper.  Tarictic Hornbil / Luzon Hornbill ( Penelopides manillae, female), endemic Subic, Zambales, 11 Jun 2011 40D, 400 f/5.6, ISO 400, f/8, 1/125 sec, manual exposure, handheld, major crop  |

Certainly it's a keeper! I'd be delighted with such a shot.

Of course it's a keeper Mark, don't be too hard on yourself.  Good job on the DOF control, over the shoulder shots like this normally doesn't work if you forgot to stop down enough. |

At first, I asked, what does he want? You have raised the bar for yourself, Mark, I guess you really have become a true disciple of the Ka Mastah. Way to go. I am your avid fan.
I have not seen a Tarictic lately. I'm glad they are still around. telyds

A bird on hand is better than two in the bush. I will be happy with a beautiful capture like this one. Never mind the branch, this is photography in the wild and no props. Well done Mark & Mabuhay.

Thanks, Adri. Anything that I crop to less than 2000px on the long side (prior any resizing) is a "major crop" for me. ;D

Nice shot Mark. I have yet to see a Tarictic Hornbill but I heard some could be found in LB.
