The surrounding green leaves make a nice frame to showcase the gallinule. I've not noticed the transition in color from the side to the breast before, but I don't get much chance to see this species in AZ.

Richard, I see these frequently during the summer months. In bright light, that transition is there. Charles, I like the framing. I wish you had caught a bit more of the profile, the huge feet and the white "cotton-tail". These birds stay pretty close to cover and move frequently, though. I'm usually happy with this much in the open!

Nice pose and I love the surrounding s and the way they frame the bird, Chuck.
