Same Anhinga, same BG, front lit

[Fabs Forns]

I posted something similar a couple of weeks ago, with this bird back lit. Some of you suggested you'd like it front lit and here it is, since I went back to Wako, morning this time. The sun went behind a cloud as I took the picture, so I opened it a bit in PS. D3 can handle that with no problem.

Great mood, exposure control and soft light. I also like the fall-like colors of the perch.

Great pose and environment. I like the lighting and colors. The branches behind the head are a little distracting.

I like it Fabs! Very much, but it has nothing to do with the very special mood that had the "back lite" version to be honest :)
Still, congratulaitons my dear friend!

Looks like a wonderful painting. Beautifully captured and a superb composition.
Really like the DOF you chose Fab as it gives just enough detail, Love it.
