I like this in black and white. The bird is placed well in the frame and the head turn adds interest. The dark background really makes the bird "pop". This is a fine image.

Subharghya, I like the way you've handled that long tail and head turn with the long bill in your composition. The tones look good for b&w. But I must admit that my brain just keeps asking, "What colors are here - I'll bet they're gorgeous". Probably my own shortcoming but my honest response.

The form of this bird is so dramatic that I can understand your decision to minimize distractions and go black and white. However, like Ron I just have to ask myself, what color is that bird?

Thanks for providing the color version Subharghya. Though this hornbill isn't particularly colorful, my preference is for the repost. I especially appreciate that red eye.
