Photographer's Note
I have no idea of the nature of vision of ostriches, but as it looks here, it should be close to a 18mm fish-eye.
Photographied in the meadow of a neighbour who has a passion: acclimatize non-regional animals in Normandy. Works well here, if you see the beak. This one is an african male (black feathers) ostrich, arrived here with a female (grey feathers). They are quite familiar, but can have some dangerous behaviour if feeling a danger. Their powerful feet carry twin toes and nails capable of killing! They run quicker than any normal human and the male size is 2 meters!
Handle with care!

Excellente photo. Couleurs et netteté sont au rendez-vous. Le cadrage fait bien ressortir les yeux globuleux de l'autruche. J'ai essayé de prendre plusieurs fois ce genre de cliché, mais la bête est rusée, elle ne veut pas poser !
Très bien.

I do not have such a nice one. And beware, they will kill you, especially in the breding season, when his legs get red from hormonal change. The have the largest eyes prorata to head of all animals / birds. Lovely pix

Magnifique cette photo, effectivement les yeux globuleux font penser à un fish-eye.
Cadrage, focus et DOF sont correct, Félicitation!
Une question cependant a t'elle une vue à 180° parce qu'avec 2 yeux je ne vous dit pas le champs de vision....

Très impressionnante cette photo. La netteté de cette image nous fait voir les plis sur le bec de l'animal. Le cadrage est excellent. Formidable.
