Great pose, details and composition. The black point doesn't look right, though.

To me it is a tad noisy, but does not bother me. I like the 3/4 portrait pose a lot. You have posted more vibrant colored Anhinga, but you did note this one's breeding colors are fading. Perhaps that is what Axel sees. I like the lifted and extended wing. Both head and wing facing the same way are a good combination. Thanks for sharing this one Fabs. Maybe I will see you next February, Thats if the price of fuel does not make me sell my life's possessions just to get there.

Hey Fabs, you beat me to the punch...took one very similar to yours, but from Green Cay...:eek: Great composition and capture, great exposure, and details on your subject, love the head angle and eye contact.

Big Congrats...keep them coming...:D

Hi Fabs,
I think the wing position, look, and head feathers are wonderful. While Axel may be right about the neck blacks......I do know they are the black hole of feathers....and not sure anything but total overcast and fill flash would bring them all out. Like it as is,

HI Fab,

Love the head turn and amazing details. I see a some noise in the BG but easy to fix.
