This is just delightful! The expression on this fellow's face just makes me want to laugh out loud. It's as if he's saying, "What are you lookin' at me for?" That enormous eye is amazing.

Meanwhile, his pals hover in the background and stare at the photographer.

I always found these animals ridiculous and very digne at the same time. I like how you have caught this spirit, they looks like a group of dandies of the 18th century having a stroll in a park. endika

LOL This is perhaps the most fun Ostrich head shot I've ever seen. The detail is great, their eyes are just gorgeous! That beek could put a good knot on your noggin too! I really like this Collin, wonderful photograph.

Agree with Marc here.

Good stuff Collin. Very sharp, i like the way the principal subject looks lost in a sea of necks. Good square crop too !

Necks to these birds man is just a chick :)
Are they as intense as they look?
Nature surely had a reason to make them so big and I wonder what that reason is?
