Great sunset, Graham, the trees really add a lot to the shot as well as the ostrich silhouettes. Is this a game reserve or do they roam freely?

@Ron: Thanks for the feedback Ron. These were on a game farm. There are several ostrich farms near us, and most farms will have a couple of Ostriches as they are good reveune generators.

I can see some big birds (ostrich?), could you took them from nearer with that light?

@akarui: Thanks Akarui. This was taken with only my 55mm lens on, I was resting the camera on a fence, so I couldn't get any closer. Next time I will try with my 300mm telephoto lens. I reckon a tight close up, silhouette of the ostrich would be pretty cool.

The position and slope of the horizon is perfect, as are the poses of the ostriches. A beautiful image.
