Very cool close-up Ken. I reckon that 200-400 would be the perfect lens for Africa!

I don't recall ever seeing a closeup of an ostrich. Very nice. The detail is amazing. Well done. I used the Canon 200-400 for 10 days over Christmas photographing eagles in Wisconsin. I definitely like the lens. The more I used it the better results I got.

Terrific details on this portrait. I feel as though I'm about to be pecked the more I look at it! Sharon

Wonderful portrait full of detail. I do not think I have seen this close of a shot of an ostrich before, way to cool.
