Description This gorgeous, little guy is one of my favorite birds of all time: a Least Bittern. Here, he is photographed in full breeding plumage at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida.

I have cropped, selectively sharpened, and applied Noise Ninja on the background.

All comments and critiques more than welcome.

Wow nice, and sharp. Although its quite busy with all the plants it makes it seem a more natural setting.

Well, thank you. These birds are very secretive, making it difficult to get a decent shot without their environment getting in the way.
