    Hi David, nice image of a Purple Gallinule. Colors look good, feather detail looks good (these birds have coarse feathers so it takes sharpening really good). The background appears to be Fire Flag/Alligator Flag plants, still green ours here have all turned brown after the cold weather. If the bird had been looking up it would have improved the head position and the image. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi David, colours spot on for this fellow. Comp wise, I'm not sure on this one. I feel you should have either a close up of the head and neck, or the full body. In this, you have three quarters of the body.

    Excellent details, especially on the sides. Great colours. You could clone out or spot-remove the couple of areas on the leaf in top right corner and in front of the bill. I'm also with Stu in regards tot he comp. Happy New Year to you as well, and here's to more good photography in 2021!!!
