Great shot. Nice tight framing, focus on the eye area, blurred background.
I'd suggest working on the tip of the bill some with selective sharpening, etc. to make it appear to be a bit more in focus. It protrudes from the frame and if sharp I think would do so even more.
And consider punching up the catchlights a bit.
I've attached a 'quick and dirty' edit to illustrate what I'm suggesting.

Great closeup. I think the bird has a very snobby look on his face. Thinks he's too good to be shot by the paparazzi! Look forward to you next pics. Cheers, Ann V.B.

Hi Marcus,
Nice pet you have!
Wonderful closeup. Great detail.
I would love to have this bird (don't know the english name for that) in my backyard... maybe next year.
Very good portfolio.
Cheers

Excelent photo, Marcus. We grow them here in special farms. I suppose you know that when in heat or brooding, they can be quite dangerous. Thanks for your warm words for my "Dinner on the next ship" Regards, Rafi

Wow! You have a pet ostrich? At least, that's what it looks like. Very nice picture of it... makes it look a little supercilious [grin]. I see you have quite a few nature/animal photos. Will visit again, keep posting!

I think that by now it's OK to switch to first names. That's a big bird you so magificantly took the photo of, Marcus. Thanks for commenting on my "Dark and mystrious II" I don't know exactly what it is, or rather was before it dried. I suppose that it was a sort of dandelion. Ragards, Rafi
