Nice image Susan. This is a great composition with the colourful leaves floating in the water. I have never seen a bird like this. Pretty colours. It is not quite in focus though, and it takes away from the initial impact of the image

    Tracy,
    Thanks a million for your review on this Moorhen moving rapidly on the river as it bottom feeds. I'm not sure it's found in your place in the United States of America.

    Welcome. Unusual bird with its uniquely colored beak. Colorful bird.

Your shot is intriguing. You captured excellent detail despite the colorful autumn leaves and their reflections. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The Moorhen is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very nice seasonal shot. The fallen leaves are really nice and the moorhen stands out well. Great detail in the bird and a very fine reflection on the water.

This is such a colorful scene with the moorhen surrounded bu the fallen leaves which are floating on the surface of the river. The moorhen stands out because of the bright red and yellow beak, I see the beak is open, good timing to capture that! I like the reflections on the river too.
Well composed and nicely presented with the earth toned frame and white lettering! Well presented!

no much clear reflection but the composition wit the moorhen and fallen leaves is very good;
it seems that the moorhen is telling you to stop taking pictures;

I really like the way you present your photographs. This one is particularly beautiful with the Moorhen standing out against all of the colored leaves and water and background. It is a photograph to be savored and could really go just about anywhere a collector might want to hang it. Arresting and peaceful- just lovely.
