Limpkin in evening light

[Drew Wilson]

I managed to stumble across a few Limpkins last week on my lunch break and was able to return later in the evening.I captured this image a few minutes before sunset. Please let me know what you all think!
Thanks for viewing!

Hi Drew,

You had some wonderful soft light here and I like the way the Limpkin is portrayed in it's habitat. The bird seems a bit soft and could use some USM.

Hi Drew Would also increase the contrast I like the setting a lot good placement in the frame and adequate space for the bird !!! An extra pass of USM would work wonders !!!!

Just increase the black and neutral channel in selective color then sharpened
