Virginia Rail.

This is an other image of the Virginia Rail.
I removed a few grass blades in front of the body, to get a cleaner presentation.
Thanks for looking.

Karl:

Nice shooting angle, angle in frame. I might consider sharpening the face just a bit more. The bill looks sharp enough.

I have had to luck with rails!

Cheers

Hi Carl sweet dynamic pose the Rail . Nice overall framing and good colors / tonal range .
I just feel the image is not 100 % sharp , looks like you have some motion blur due to subject movement /SS.But i could be well wrong.

Nice clear shot of this elusive bird. Colors and details look great Karl. Well done

[Diane Miller]

A nice pose and environment. I might think about a slight gradient burn from the top.

Amazing that you got this rail out in the open, Karl. Well done!

These guys can respond really well to call, at least for me. Neat pose and grassy habitat. I agree the face (or at least the eye) seems to have a bit of motion blur in it.
