Limpkin On Cypress

What Rich said, except for that long whatever it is hanging down fro the cypress cone to the bird's back. I would be mighty tempted to clone that out.

Very nice,I also think the framing has worked out well, nice pose and headturn. More info on camera settings etc will always help encourage comments.

A really nice capture and setting here Ed, it's always good to include your equipment and exif data (iso, shutter speed, f-stop) to help us give you more complete critiques.

This is nice Ed. I like the habitat and the look the bird is giving your. Exposure looks good too. Please include your image techs when you can as it really help people giving critiques. Also, please feel free to comment on others images as it is really the best way to improve as an avian photographer. Cheers.

I like the pose of the Limpkin and the eye contact you have here Ed, but if you have more room at the bottom I would like to see more space there to leave room for the legs, even when you can not see them otherwise it feels like the leg are chopped off.
