Nice one, pleasant colors in the image ! The horizon looks a little tilted, which could have been how it was in that area, but still it distracts a little from the bird. Otherwise fine as posted ! :smile: , Cheers, Hans

Very nice details in the blacks, a head turn towards the camera would have improved this but sometimes they don't cooperate. :toast:

Thanks everybody, I agree that the head turn is not as good as it could have been, but I liked detail in the black :toast: :toast:

Excellent image, Ken. I really like the light here and the landscape is very complementary. Very nice details in the blacks. Nice to see an ostrich in its habitat. :toast:
