 Well, he's not exactly the prettiest bird, is he? One of the inquisitive emus at the Oakland (CA) Zoo. Shot with a macro lense pointed through the chain-link fence.

I almost entered a shot of an emu very similar to this! Yours is MUCH better than mine however!. You've got great detail and colors here, but the shot is a little dark for my tastes. Still, my highest score for Big Bird! :-) (8)

The light on these birds is rather harsh. A little more light around it's eye would have improved the image dramatically.
