Late afternoon shot of ostrich chicks taken a while back in Rietvlei nature reserve, South Africa. Being small they are easier to frame, unlike the protective parents who were in close attendance....:eek3: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, EF300mm f/2.8L IS II USM +1.4x, 1/250, f8.0, ISO 400, beanbag from car window. Comments welcome.
Magnificent image in habitat with so many little ones. Beautiful composition.

Hi Gerhard,
This is a wonderful shot of the ostrich chicks. Too bad there was not more clouds in the sky, as the light seems contrasty to me. Perhaps backing off on contrast, or reducing highlights, and increasing the shadows, can help compress the range of tones?
Thanks for sharing this, I have never seen these little ones before ... wonderful!

Hi Gerhard, I like your pano crop here, and great you captured them all together, as they are always on the move. Rietvlei always produces something on the day. :w3
