Great bird. Tall grass. Sharpness on the face looks a bit suspect....

I'm envious, Karl. Very nice IQ and low POV. Beautiful rich colors on this attractive bird. I've captured images of the Clapper and King Rail, and would love to see one of these in person. Well done.

Virginia Rails are awesome!! Nice image, and I actually like the grass in front of it. The low angle gave you a nice BG to work with.

[William Dickson]

Very nice Karl. Nice details throughout. I really like the long grasses which adds so much. I have never seen this bird before so thanks for sharing this. Good work.

A hard to see bird..nice one Karl. I also like the tall grass here and the nice colors and detail. TFS.

Great capture of a difficult bird. Nicely done. Sharpness looks pretty good on my screen although maybe a touch more on the head wouldn't hurt. Well done.
