Excellent piece of Work...

Fantastic b/w Morkel, please allow me one suggestion; you may wanna consider cropping some on the top and slightly on the left side too - to move the head/eyes a little more towards the "golden" point. I am not normally one who thinks the "standard" composition rules should be followed, but with this one I believe it would really focus more on the lovely shades you've got in the hornbills eye area, beak and head, just a thought.

Excellent portrait.. Morkel... One of your best B&W ...
