I love the pose of the Gallinule in this one, Joe, and the way he's focused on the blossoms. That such an important part of the story/comp is OOF is sort of troublesome.
Very nice. The head looking at the flowers was a bit unlucky. The legs and feet are spectacular. You did some sloppy Photoshop work mid-frame on the left. I like the stalk coming in from the corner.
Don't you hate it when you get too greedy with a zoom lens???
