Fine scene, artist friend Susan. Unique that the Moorhen is surrounded by so much green. Would also be good for that contest. Appears the bird is enjoying the swim and almost looks like a magical painting. As usual, your frames add to the scene.

I use Paintshop Pro too. Your added border is a unique feature. Do you sell prints like that? Great color, contrast and detail. Nice use of the Rule of Thirds too.

    If a friend askes me I either give them a print or charge to cover the cost of the ink & card. If you'd like a copy I can email it to you at NO charge.

I guess that this Moorhen is looking for food. The bird seems to investigate carefully the shores of the river. Your photo has good depth and is well focused and exposed. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The reflections at the motionless water are intriguing. The photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. The photo is excellent composed and framed. The Moorhen is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful image that is very nicely composed. I love the reflections of the willows and think the moorhen is perfectly located to enhance them.

The green in this scene is so refreshing to see, I like the way the river is reflecting these green surroundings.
The moorhen juvenile brings life . It stands out because of its colors in contrast with the green.
Well composed and presented!

A good-looking nature image displayed here! Your good composition grants us an enjoyable view of that duck seemingly wanting to get into the reeds. Those green reflections are lovely. Well taken!
