Hello Janice,
Nice close-up of this cutie from a low pov. Looks like quite a character. The focus does not seem to be on the eye though.
Best wishes,
Hakan

Hello Janice,
LOL, what an amazing POV! It might not be your sharpest picture but it is very original and unusual :-) This one made me smile and I enjoyed reading those interesting notes. I didn't know that they could live such a long time. Well seen and TFS,
Claudine

Hello Janice,
Whatever this one lacks on the technical side, it more than makes it up in dork appeal ;)
I really like the low and in-your-face POV, and he seems to looking down on you saying "So where are the nuts"..
In the final analysis I guess it all depends on which side of the fence you're on ;}}
Well done mf.

Janice, nothing like a funny capture.

Besides, excellent pov, contrast and beautiful blue sky.

Congratulations.

Much obliged for your kind visit and comment, Janice.
This is a bold close-up of the eye of an ostrich which a photographer of your calibre only can handle with such efficacy and profesional skill.
Best regards.

I'm certainly glad there WAS a fence! He looks quite fierce in his close-up portrait. I love the way all the fine hairs seem to glow around him, well done.

Hello Janice!

Still very busy times, unfortunatelly...

I like this big bird :-) Perfect POV with lots of blue sky and really BIG eye. Slightly funny face :-) But most funny thing is that these birds are more and more common in Poland! They became breeding animal on our farms :-)

A very comical close-up of this odd looking character. Well to avoid those super duper highlights and get more light in the darker areas, either wait for the subject to reposition for a better lighting scenario, or if you have the option of moving to a different area where the sun is behind you where the subject is completely illuminated getting rid of most the harse shadows, or you can just wait for a perfect overcast day. Either way Janice your shot is still a fun one to look at and enjoy! :)

Janice, given it can run up to 43 mph (70 kph), how fast are you? ;)

Even though there is but one eye here I'll take your word for the title! I trust you checked ;) Do we have a cameo here too?
I like this PoV and the compo. Tfs, Jay

Hi Janice,

I peeked in on you, inspired by your gracious and supportive words for Howard, and this shot really jumped out. I love the perspective and clean background and the in-your-face sense of character.

You're welcome for a visit anytime you feel like expanding your TN footprint to Bali...

Best,
Djuna

Hi Janice,
A tad soft, but still a lovley capture. I really the POV and the expression on the ostrich's face. The photo almost seems 3D with the ostrich popping out of the screen :)
Nice work!
