Wonderful close-up! I love the way the light hits the feathers and makes them glisten. I love the big, soft eyes and long lashes and the goofy facial expressions ostriches seem to have. I think you've cropped it exactly right, and I like the blurred, contrasting background. This will definitely grace my desktop!
Good God Almighty, how did you find her? That's my Mother-In-Law! She hasn't improved one durn bit since I saw her last week!
Great composition however. I love to head shoot her, no,no, I mean I love the head shot and the clarity of the bird. Lordy, what a puss! Excuse me,,,I gotta go to the bathroom.
