Great catch of this juvie! Nice pose, typical habitat, true colours, and very sharp.

Excellent detail in the Gallinule, and a lot of cool habitat, Barbara.  It looks as if you might have enough resolution for a tighter crop, perhaps a vertical, if you want to try a version that emphasizes the bird more.  It would be interesting to see what it looks like if you took a bit off the left and bottom and pulled the right side in to just inside the purple flower.  I do like this image a lot-just thinking about options.

Lovely detail and I really like the habitat. The layers make the photo even more interesting. Very nice, Barbara.

I like this a lot though the background looks a bit busy.  I wonder if softening the focus might help.  Really nice green hues as well.
