its a brilliant image for the challenge .. :)

what's the backstory ..
how on earth were you in exactly the right place at the right time ..

also those feathers are most unusual .. they looked almost unnatural ..
so i googled it ..

Ostriches have unique feathers that are loose, soft, and smooth, giving them a "shaggy" look.

not voting atm.. :)

AHHA ..!!.. ;)
the things photographers do .. and thanks for clearing that up Fred .. ;)
and like Marion said there's a lot showing above the knee .. but in my reality you could show above the knee as long as you showed what was going on below it .. and make below the knee the focus of our attention .. which you totally nailed ..
i believe that hanging on to our preconceived ideas of what fits can stop us from seeing the whole picture .. so to speak ..

anyway .. congratulations on the blue .. totally worth lying in the dirt .. and getting this unforgettable photo .. :)

Great photo, but there is a fair bit showing above their knees.
