nice image, Scott. I like the raised foot, the little head turn, and the sense of habitat.

I like this as well. I'd add a touch more sharpening.

Would love to catch one of these in the wild someday, beautiful bird.
Nice job on this, well done Scott.

Nice job getting this Limpkin in the open Scott. Nice pose. I really like the raised foot. I do wish the bright limbs in the background did not intersect the bill, however a great image as posted.

Sweet pose, I especially like the perfect head turn and the raised foot. I wonder if you were to darken the BG a bit and lighten the Limpkin, if it would give you a little more separation between subject and BG - just a thought. Nice image.

Nice pose on this bird Scott. A agree, a bit more sharpening for the larger version.
