Hi Sanjeev, super pose from this female, and overall well exposed. The light looks good, and I do like how you captured the ostrich in the open, and that she is separated from the BG behind her. I wish you had left a little more room at the bottom for the virtual feet, and I would 'neaten' that single feather on her back.

Hi Sanjeev - I like the pose with the bird in open view nicely standing out from bg. Good details visible. Before I read Stuart's post my hand was just itching to pluck the upright feather!
Regards

The stray feather gives this image more character and tells more of a story of the conditions. I like the pose and the inclusion of the environment. I think this would have looked nice as a vertical with more at the bottom.
