    Hi Viv, excellent exposure on the moorhen, as they arent easy to get right. Love the low angle and leaning pose, together with the water's reflection on the side of his body. Well timed to capture the drooling water droplets.

    I take it, this was at Barberspan too. Pity its a tad far for a day trip. Its ok to get up early for Mankwe, But this location seems double the distance.

    Great capture! Your eye immediately goes to the red eye, down the red/yellow bill and continues to the dramatic line of water droplets. The darkish grays and blues highlight the action nicely.

    Great work, Vivaldo, love the moment you have captured, your low angle and stellar IQ. Super exposure on a bird that I'm sure is quite tricky.

    This bird is sooo hard to get out in the open so congrats on seizing the moment and getting a great shot.
    Love your super low POV and the IQ and feather details with the water reflection.
    Excellent,
    Gail

    Exposed well and nice IQ. Not easy with blacks. Like the water flying from the beak. Well done
