The expression on her face lends me to believe she is trying to figure out which floor she needs - like she's waiting for an elevator

Never tried this myself Neil I expect it's much harder than it looks.

Coming to comment a bit late I fear - you have received many good comments already. The sharpness and clarity is amazing. I'm loving reading your exif - 800 ISO clearly is perfectly usable on your D7000. Anyhow, I do agree with the other commenters about the crop, whilst you lose a bit of detail in v2, you do get a better context

African Jacana (PAW 4/52)

Comment:
wonderful clarity. I'm thinking with a 70-200 you were actually quite close unless you had a Teleconverter or it's heavily cropped? Strike my comments, I now read other comments and your response :) The hide was in the water - oh boy. Lovely looking bird and the colours in this just pop.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I actually prefer the uncropped version. Just shows, you can't please all of the people all of the time

Didn't make the connection on first glance, then when I looked a bit harder I burst out laughing. I'm not sure if that was your intended reaction, but I love the visual pun

This one for some reason does not work for me in the same way the simpler one does.

Hmm. Glad I didn't enter this challenge - I surely would have entered something similar! Crazy low score and so not justified. It's a lovely one Neil

It's wonderful to follow the wildlife images of you and your fellow South Africans in this thread.

I think my friend, who is an avid birder, would say that this is record shot. And I'm sure he'd be mighty pleased to tick this off his list
