This image was taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, during our holiday cruise (admittedly a strange place to find an ostrich...it was on a farm)

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!

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.

Excellent croping. It brings out a "personality" to the image.

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...
