Thanks to all for your comments/votes - As i have probably explained to most of you this was an 'opportunist' shot - no time to fiddle about composing - just a quick point and shoot. Its been fun...thanks again

You really need to watch the background. The presence of the second bird really spoils this.

good image, i like how you centered the ostrich's face in the middle

Very nice capture. I wish the darker bird was less conspicuous in the background; the fence isn't overly distracting, but might be better without it.

Should have waited for the other bird to get out of the way or re-position yourself for a better composition. The wire is also another problem. Good focusing though.

This would have been marvellous with a tight crop around the ostrich's head, I think. The wires are a distraction.

Poor fella! Looks like he's destined to become a burger some day...

Although the fence wires are a little disturbing, they don't really decrease the quality of this image somehow. I think cropping out the top half of the ostrich out the back is more disturbing. Otherwise this is a great pic, with the main subject full in focus and the shallow DOF blurring the background. Personally, I would have kept the whole ostrich in the background in the shot.

Great expression on its face, and a lovely title to go with it. Made me chuckle.

Those wires are annoying, otherwise a nice shot. I love the expression on his/her face.

Great expression! I think this would have been a stronger composition had you panned down a bit. The head seems to be a bit too centered.

Cutie... Did you try doing a verticle, might have given a different effect.

LOL, looks like my wife's grand-mother. JK, :D The wires are really destracting. Too bad you couldn't zoom in on the head to avoid them.

I love the expression on this guy's face. Too bad about the wire fencing going accross the picture. Otherwise, a very nice photo.
