Nice image, I would prefer less of a head turn towards me, and I think the plants in the BG are a bit distracting. Good detail and I like the leg positioning.

Really like the environment you caught this limpkin in. The raised foot is nice, maybe a little more room at the top.

I like this, Joe. I like the grass flowers; they produce a very nice counterpoint to the bird. I agree that putting the bird slightly lower in the frame, and maybe slightly to the left, would make this fine image even better.
