Limpkin

From the same time as my last limpkin post. I somehow managed to change the way I save images and the last one got switched to bicubic sharper??? Certainly was not sharp when posted! Hope this one is better. Thanks everyone for the comments.

The droopy wings and downward gaze gives me the impression the poor guy is feeling depressed.

Very unique perch and great techs. Nicely captured Sharon.

Beautiful subtle colors, great simplicity, wonderful pose and nice details. I love the view of those long toes.

Really nice look at this Limpkin, Sharon. Much better detail than your previous Limpkin post. Very interesting looking perch. Very pleasing background. Nice image.

I like this image. Nice pose by the bird and I like the detail in those huge feet.

Very nice, and sharp image Sharon. Love that perch, whatever it is. Almost looks like this Limpkin is stranded on a small piece of land out in the middle of nowhere. Very nice capture.

This looks much sharper, Sharon! Nice expression and perch. Congrats again for getting this elusive species so well.
