Anhinga - New Crop

[Mike Landwehr]

This is a different crop of an image posted several days ago. The earlier crop concentrated on detail in the anhinga's neck, head and beak. This crop exposes the beautiful black-and-white patterns in the feathers. Think I may like this better. Comments/criticisms welcomed!
