    Stunning pics Pat! We have a bird in the Gallinule family in Australia that has a red beak and legs. Really pretty birds!

    Birds of that family are quite rare here in Italy as not much wetland but a lot of trigger happy hunters

    Gorgeous shot Pat. The only thing that is distracting to me is the background noise. I see ISO1000 needed to be used here and although the exposure is dead on with the subject, the background suffered. If you want some help step-by-step for PS lasso selection to clean up the background more, let me know.

    I added some textures to the Limpkin image above and really enhanced the color, background and light/shadow effects.

    Pat,
    Take that Limpkin photo and make sure it is sized where you want it at 300dpi (dots per inch). Then send it to Bay Photo and have a metal print made for your wall.

    That is a fantastic shot.
