You know... looking at your pictures YT it occurred to me that photography is a funny thing. I originally took pictures of my hornbill in strong daylight against a black background. Now look at the difference it makes taking a picture at night against a white one. I think the patina can be misleading. All of the examples have been taken under different lighting conditions, and so the only "real" way to judge is in person.
