Ehhh pobre avestruz que se lo han mangado, mira el pobre como lo mira...
Una distinta y algo peculiar foto, imagino que es un buen disparo, pero preferiría ver los elementos de la foto en otro estado, de todas formas una original foto,
Well done

Hello Oscar !
This is a Top Ten Photo. ( The fat and the serious )

Very well done,

Nice shot Oscar;

If I were that man, I'd be watching for a possible ostrich attack! Hahaha.
I used to live in Swaziland when I was VERY young. My memories of the place are limited to bits and pieces. I'd love to go back and re-visit, especially Kruger Park (which I notice you have also a photo).

Cheers!

Lovely picture! I love those ostriches, but maybe too much, as I walked towards one, lying on eggs, which is very risky. And the eggs are possible to stand on, they are hard enough. This picture has wonderful colours and I also like the compositio very much. And the curious face of the ostrich of course, such a contrast to the serious face of the man, showing the egg, that very egg, which belongs to me, the ostrich seems to think!
