The picture was taken on the South Coast of South Africa. I was on my way to the sea when I came across these ostriches. This was a large herd and they were all fairly young. I wanted to capture something different so I waited a while. This one ostrich seemed facinated and curious and was leaning over the fence to take a look at me. It provided a great opportunity as the ostrich was leaning forward, looking down, turning its head slightly and with beak open when I took the shot.
