Emu in the rain

This Emu – drenched and seemingly miserable – was intrigued by the camera lens, providing me with a nice shot of its stunning eyes. I also like the rain-sodden curl of its feathers and the grains of sand and grit that cover its head. If only the light had allowed a slightly larger depth of field.
