What a cutie! I like that the bit of light is falling on the chick, spotlighting it as well as giving a bit of life to the black feathers. I'd consider cropping a bit off the bottom, just below the dead sticks. That would eliminate the stem in the lower left corner.

Not very many images of a young gallinule taken, I believe, but you have a very good one, Karl, with an interesting habitat , as well.

Love the light on the chick Karl. Nice sighting. Agree with Cindy's suggestion of a small crop.

Make your life spectacular!

I love the way the light is illuminating the little chick in its sea of duckweed, Karl!

So cute! And a special find-I don't imagine it is common to see such a young one. Lovely light .
