[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rheas are polygamous, with males courting between two and twelve females. After mating, the male builds a nest, in which each female lays her eggs. The male incubates from ten to sixty eggs; the chicks hatch within 36 hours of each other. The females, meanwhile, may move on and mate with other males. While caring for the young, the males will charge at anyone — including humans and female rheas — who approaches the chicks.

Taken in Osnabrück Zoo.
The bird was calm until another animal approached; it opened the eyes and also the beak, an antilope or so, approached; probably as a kind of warning

What an ugly duckling!
Focus, sharping, detail - well done.

Hi Annick.
Amazing close-up with stunning detail and exposure. Interesting that the male brings up the kids and mother moves off, great notes.

Great capture! Lighting, DOF, color, perspective and clarity are fantastic. Technical quality is as good as it gets.

Hi Annick.
Amazing picture with terrific cropping and composition. Smiling bird, it is perfect. DOF is great. Both your hero and BG are superb. Excellent shot.
Alexei.
P.S. By the way, whether can you indulge us with a picture with ISO 3200 or 6400? It is very interesting.
