Thank you for your comment Phil.  You mentioned all the thing that I liked about the capture that prompted me to post this one.

I took this last week in the early morning. Lighting was awesome for

awhile, but then got too harsh. I was fortunate enough to get

several "keepers". You are more likely to see purple galinules

skittering across lily pads, than climbing through the brush munching

on the vegetation.

I believe this is a juvenile yellow crowned Night Heron, but can't be

certain. As always, comments, critiques and ratings are

appreciated, Thank you

John

Lighting was right this morning and my little friend stopped by and

stayed long enough to get some nice clean shot. Here's one of

them. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you all for your commments.

I've been trying to get a good shot of this bird for a month now. It

alway seems to be either half-hidden or in bad lighting. This is one

of the better shots so far. Let me know what you think. Thanks,

John

A very well composed image with beautiful color and clarity.

Comments greatly appreciated. Any suggestions for improvement?

Excellent tonality in this classic pose.  Very well done!

There are only about 600 silverback gorillas known to exsist.

Photographed with Canon EOS 7D w/ Canon EF300mm f4L IS USM

lens. Thank you for viewing.

Beautiful image Steve. Looks great when viewed larger.  A fine capture.

A nicely composed image with great detail. ..... and yes, it sure seems to be smiling.  Well done!

I was wondering how you guys managed to get so many great action shots like this one.  Still a

John great shot!

Good color and clarity. I believe more space on the right side of the image would make for a better composition since the bird is facing in that direction.  Well done.

A great image.  Superb shot.

I really like everything about this image: color clarity and composition are excellent.  Well done!

I really enjoy the colors and composition.  Well done!

I totally agree with Christine.  You have a nicely composed image.  If you shoot in raw you may be able to adjust the darks enough to bring out the details in the head and neck areas.  You might also try adjusting the levels in Photoshop.
