    Here is another image of my series of the great bustard in Extemadura (Western Spain). Here this adult male is running fast to face a subadult male in order to keep him out of the displaying area reserved only for the older males. I love this species!!!
    As always, your comments and critics are highly appreciated.

    Hi Juan,
    Nice fantail pose and colors on this bird. The light is nice and I like the hint of plants (maybe a tiny bit less blurred if done in processing). Would've been sweeter with the subject turned a bit more toward you.

    Another very cool image of this spectacular species, Juan. Love the way the light is striking the tail feathers.

    Lovely action & pose. The rich colours of the bird against a subtle BG makes it pop.
