A beautiful bird that closely resembles the moorhens I see in the southern states. A well composed shot with great colors and a nice reflection.

Right on! Thank you for the new-to-me knowledge.
The debris behind the swamp chicken looks colorful ha ha!
Cool silhouette too. I can definitely tell that the water is murky like a swamp.
Cool capture.

Another unusual animal, great picture. What I like on this one is the colored background in the water - the swamp stuff and water rifts. The chicken swamp is engaged in the photo shutting session.

We also have moorhens over here in the UK. Your fine nature shot clearly benefits from being well composed with good exposure and sharpness. Love that beak! Nicely done!!

A colourful fella in a 'colourful' surroundings I think. Interesting shot! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this busy little Moorhen swimming fast on your lake near the bank as it searches for food. It's reflection on the rippled water is an added bonus. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
His cousins are doing the same thing on the River Dodder.
Susan

We have very similar bird to these Nicely composed with good reflection as and color is very natural. A lot of vegetation floating behind the bird - well focused on eye.
