Normally this time of year I would be going to Gatorland at least once a week. Entering and most times leaving the rookery I pass a enclosure with Emus. Sometimes I stop and give them a few clicks, this image is from one of those times. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I like the BG colors and that crazy hairdo.
Not loving the emu's right eye with all those reflections and wish you had a bit more DOF f 8 as opposed to 5.6 but looks like you were struggling for light.
Made me smile so bonus points for that!
