Love the framing and the way the curve fills it, the bicolor BG and of course the details. A classic JP canvas. TFS

Love the shape the neck makes. I also really dig that two toned background. The green and blue go great together.

The two-toned background is really nice.
Nice Colors.
I would back off the sharpening a little.

Joe, for me pose is cool mid-preen and that bkg transition is killer!
Far from an Anhinga expert but believe I see some blue casting in the whites throughout the subject feathers? Maybe something you can check.
Agreed sharpening feels just a bit much, then again I seem to feel that way frequently on shots of this species.

Thanks everyone for viewing, commenting and suggesting improvements. This is a edit with the blue removed from the white areas and less sharpening.

Reducing blues in whites was a good idea as the repost improves on an already-awesome frame. I love the graded BG, and the neck loop is really, really unique. I'd love to have this one in my headshot collection.
