On all the trips I made last year to the rookery in Gatorland I passed by a pen with Emus. One day one was in position for a head/portrait. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

A baby only a mother could love. Wonderful IQ and that colorful bright clear eye makes the image. Background and composition work for me.

Now that's something you don't see everyday, nice comp and colors, very interesting.

This is a really cool image - the colour, the wild hairy feathers, the bill, the eye - awesome.

I think I would have liked to have more depth of field for the neck, but not too disappointed.

Great to see this!

Just love the color and detail on this portrait. The curly hair on to is just so funny to me.
