Female Anhinga With Catfish

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida on a overcast morning. The gray background is the gray sky reflected on the water. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Positioned for the gullet intake, wonderful work Joe, love the capture and the HA, well done.

Love the action captured here. Great look at both eyes. Good head angle on the bird too. Details look good. TFS

Oh this is perfection!! Love the S-shape of the neck leading up to the prey. The dirt (?) on the beak is really nice. Techs and processing are spot on. No nits from me. This is a winner!

[Dorian Anderson]

This gets my vote for the theme this month. Everything works well and the prey is really interesting itself!

Great timing here. Like the open bill and the fish perfectly in it. Nice and sharp.
