Shot outdoors in natural light using a monopod. Underexposed to lose the background. Converted from RAW in ACR, a little burning and dodging and a selective colour layer to balance some blueness. Crop and resize.

I'm realizing Ostriches and Emus make such great subjects - I've never seen one I don't like. This is exceptional, though - the pure black background really ads to your composition as all the attention goes to the ostrich's face, and especially his eye, which is perfectly crisp and in focus. Great shot!
