Chris,

Excellent exposure and detail. I like the reflection as well.

Excellent shot of a difficult to expose birdy. Love it! Could you have gotten any lower?

Wonderful image. A little lower is all I would want. Still excellent as is.

Great exposure and detail on this guy.....not easy to do. I'd only wish for a lower angle as well but I know that there are times when it just can't be done.

Usually an exposure nightmare, you've done extremely well on this moorhen, Chris. Please tell me that this was taken in overcast conditions.

Really nice. Don't see many Moorhens around here. Like the ripples in the water too.

Good to hear from you Sandy. This was taken around 10:00 AM on sunny morning but I waited until a small cloud passed over to help with the exposure.
