Virginia Rail Strut.
Tough to get them in the open, but a cooperative pair offered quite a few opportunities in a short amount of time. They are likely a breeding pair, here's the smaller of two - and this one had a brighter eyebrow and a white throat which the other did not have. Not often we get such a clear view - hope you like it!
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1600s., f/6.3, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, cropped right and bottom to improve the comp. Audio used.
This is a very nice species and I believe it is not common to find them in the open. Love the pose and eye contact in this one. I would just darken/sat the green weeds in the foreground.
Excellent POV & pose. Lovely BG. Very well done.

Another fantastic image Dan, great low POV, nice and sharp, good clean BG and FG.
nice capture,like the walking pose,nice colors and light,nice detail.
Yes I like the low angle and the strong eye contact, the raised foot is the icing on the cake.
Excellent low angle, Daniel. Love the raised foot, eye contact and detail.
Amazing. Just getting one in the open is a coup; getting a perfect pose must have made your day. Your usual great low POV. Well done.
Hi Daniel, this is the POV I really love to see, eye level with the subject with a hint of mush in the FG, cool. Great to see you managed to coax the subject out and get a full subject in frame. Nice to have an uncluttered BKG for subject separation/standout.

Fantastic image with excellent IQ. Well done on getting the shot in the open.

Superb shot, Daniel! Love the feather details, exposure and POV!
Superb shot. If they are anything like our rails I can appreciate just how good this is. Outstanding.
