Another tricolored fishing from last week's Everglades trip. This was a fun bird to photograph. Many of us stood on the banks of the Anhinga Trail and shot this guy as he flew from one side of the water to the other nabbing fish along the way. Comical to hear all the camera fire as he took flight.

Good job of getting the full reflection, although a bit more water under it wouldn't hurt.

He's still dancing around ;)


Love the little fish in his bill!

The clean water and wake enhance the composition but I wonder at the wake in front of his feet?

[Jim Poor]

SWEET! I really like this reflection. I think the disturbed water in front of the main wake is probably from drops falling off the head and such, but I might be tempted to clone them out anyway. I'd also take a bit off the top and add about the same amount to the bottom.

[Steve Fauer]

Thanks, you guys were right about the changes.

I like the second version much better. I would also using the Magic Wand, select the BG only and boost the Saturation a bit.
