Pantanal: Landscape with Rheas
Meanwhile back in the Pantanal..wish I was there for real as I was very smitten by everything about it...Here an impression of the landscape in the dry season..not nice early morning light, it was very hazy most of the time. Very early and suddenly I saw these Greater Rheas approaching, they paused for a while under the tree and disappeared into the haze again. Wonderful sight.

D2x, 200-400, Iso 320, 1/640 F/5.6 +2/3, tripod
Raw, PS CS3
