    Default A Hard Day...

    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!

    Like that eye he was giving you. The background is nice as well. I could see a looser crop.
