A pleasant scene. I like the red reflections with the red bill. For my taste, I would like to see the bird displayed more prominently. Perhaps a crop of the brown foliage on top and a little off the bottom.

So cool, Chet! The coordinating reds are just awesome, though perhaps a little extra vibrant on my monitor. I do agree that losing the brown OOF foliage at the top makes this even stronger.

FYI, this was officially renamed several years ago and is now known as a Common Gallinule. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/common_moorhen/id I agree with John's critique.

I see these guys a lot but there always in the flattened reeds never swimming around. Very nice colors. Would like to see same shot horizontal.
