    Great pose, light and details. I remember the previous image and why it does not 'have' feet. :) I'm not familiar with this species but the white feathers have a slight blue cast on my monitor.

    Anyone has some images of bustard´s feet for sale? I need them :D Yes Axel you are right, I am glad that you remember my problem with the feet of the bustards. It was a real torture because this beauty gave to me a lot of photographing opportunities but he decided not to show its feet :(
    The whithe feathers of the tail are really white on this species so if you see a little blue cast is for sure that it has (my main monitor is out of work and I am preparing the files for posting on monitor that is an archaeological jewel :D )

    Very well composed, Juan. I like the regal pose, and smooth background. There is a bit of blue cast to the whites, so I'm sure when your main monitor is working again this will look even better!

    another awesome shot in your series !
    I wonder why these hides are so low, what the reason ?
    It actually doesn't make any sense to me, as the vegetation is so high....

    Magnificent again. Love how the little sticker bushes balance the COMP. With the vegetation, you would need to be in a balloon to see the feet; I would rather the intimate perspective as here. And a big yes to the bluish cast.
