This large bird of Africa is one of the heaviest birds to fly. This picture was taken in Etosha, Namibia. Thanks for looking.

I like the composition, habitat and tones in this one. Great image Lorant!

What a fabulous in-habitat shot. Perfect shooting angle and the raised-foot pose. If mine, I'd have a little more room at the top.

Nice to have the inclusion of its surroundings. Good exposure and sharpness.

Hi Lorant when I looked at the image it had to be Namibia or Kgalagadi - you have captured the Bustard and the environment for that area perfectly. Lovely subdued light, great plumage detail and good eye contact. I also like the inclusion of habitat.
Most of my shots of this bird are of the back view of it marching away into the distance.:)TFS.

Szia Lori!
I like this man. wonderful pose and if anything a touch more room above as per KD! :) Well done!

Lorant, this is one of my favorite birds and I like that you were able to capture all of him with such a great bg; nice details and I like the raised foot. After seeing this one, I remembered that I have a portait shot I've been meaning to post so I'll do that now. TFS

Excellent composition Lorant really gorgeous. Great Work!

great looking bird with that little bit of habitat showing makes this for me...

Great bird-in-habitat shot. By the way he's looking at you, it seems you didn't have all day to get this shot. Way to go.
