Good portrait I like the crop and head turn very much Clean complementing bg and very sharp !! If its fine with you would clone out the bright reflections on the bill. Not sure if that birds looks just like ours but might go a little brighter !!! Excellent !!!

Looks so sharp that it looks soft (to the touch), amazing detail

Very nice portrait. Really like the colors and the clean background.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice indeed, great portrait. Agree you could fix the bright highlight near the nostril. There is also a dust spot to clean above the tip of the bill almost halfway up to the edge of the frame.

almost a regal Old Masters style portrait.
Small nits noted.....really nice

Hi Sar, Love this portrait of the Purple swamp hen - great feather detail, colour rendition, and crop.
Agree about cloning bright spot near nostril. Well done!!

[Freddy Franzella]

Everything comes together here! love the colors and detail!

[Juan Aragonés]

Excellent image. The BG is darker than I would like but all the other aspects of the imagen are really good (exposure, sharpnes, composition, eye contact...). Very nice

NIce one Sar, I haven't seen this one yet.

The colors look fine. Our swamohen are rather dark compared to your US variety, well darker anyway I think. :)
