Late, that evening, I saw something I had never seen before, an Ostrich on the dunes.

EOS 7D, 70-300 L IS @300mm, ISO 200, hand-held
Namib Desert, Namibia


Thanks, Regards and Happy Holidays,

Kiran :)

Very awesome!! And dramatically profound!!! Another presentation might be a horizontal pano by cropping off the top 1/3 maybe. Great how the grasses run the whole length of the frame on the bottom. Congrats on having created such a sweet image.

Great image! Really nice how the lines in the dune all flow to the bird.

Would be even better with the Ostrich exactly in the rule of thirds power point... :)

Excellent Namibia image and lends some scale to the massive dunes there.

This is very riveting, the fact the lines of the sand dunes all lead back to the bird make for a tremendous composition, nicely done!
