Young Ostrich

[Ken Watkins]

It seems like years since I last posted on this forum, probably because I have had nothing worthy of posting

On a very hot afternoon in Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa we came across a family of Ostrich clearly suffering from the heat.

This immature one came very close and I took this through the open window of our vehicle.

Great angle makes this work. Nice blue sky BG and very fine detail. Might take just a bit off the right side.

Nice inquisitive pose, and sharp where it counts. I only wish you had taken this as a vertical with more neck showing.

Daniel,

I have a few vertical shots from the same sighting I'll take a look.
