The friendly one

It was so funny to see this male Ostrich approach the vehicle, it seemed to welcome us with a smile as it ducked down.

Funnier still ! as it took me a few moments to find the head ! Should we say a super candid !! ha ha !!

[Corinne C]

What a capture! I thought they were not so welcoming 😁

[Kitty Hawke]

haha....indeed.....I thought it was a back view at first !!!!!

How cute! His head and neck are lined up with his leg so beautifully it took me a minute to find his face

[Bucktree]

He does look like he is smiling. Great capture.

[Mags]

How cute!

[Susan Wakely]

What fabulous plumage.

[Lou Ann]

Ha ha! What a neck!

[Linda Godwin]

how strange to keep its head under its body

[Olwynne]

Wonderful capture. I love his stance

[Carole Sandford]

I was thinking it looks as it’s going to charge at you! Great photo.

[Steve Chappell]

Great capture

[Peter]

What a great pose and capture Diana:)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

neat - the aggressive move is to try to be the tallest, so going low means not a threat

[Allison Maltese]

This is so hilarious, you almost don't see the head. You can open up the dark areas in Photoshop if you are so inclined.

[Cordiander]

He really looks funny :)!

[gloria jones]

Neat shot :)

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Okay, I have to agree with Cordlander!

[haskar]

Fabulous capture. At first I thought he was in an attacking position.

[Rob Z]

Super image Diana.

[Christine Sztukowski]

I love his smile

[Heather]

Wow! What a fun capture! It took me a while to find its head! And I see its smile! (Great info from @koalagardens- clearly your vehicle was perceived as a friendly force!) Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good catch- it does look like he wants to make friends!

[Paula Fontanini]

Ha! Too funny....what a fantastic image of that crazy bird!! :)

[Rick]

Or was it sneaking up on you. Great shot.

[Bill]

Such a small head for such a big bird.

@koalagardens Thanks for that info Katrina, I was not aware of it :-)

[Diana]

@falcon11 Thanks for the suggestion Allison, I did lighten the plumage a bit. I was in such a rush to get through all the photos that I did not even think of it :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice capture of this friendly fellow/gal, and much better viewed on 'large' screen.

[Kathy A]

Nice focus on his face and I like how his body is heart shaped
