Blue on Gold

[Fabs Forns]

This afternoon at Anhinga Trail. I had to put the camera on the boardwalk and capture the image from the ground because I wouldn't have had the color of the water otherwise. We ran into BPN mod Denise Ippolito and BPN members Ed and Gail Cordes.

Fabs, It was great to see you and Alfred. Thanks for all the help!! It was also nice to meet Gail and Ed Cordes!
I love the BG colors and the sharp details, the low angle adds alot!-well done as always!!!

I love the contrasting colors here, they give a pleasant mood to the image. The S-curve of the neck adds to the composition as does that great head angle. The details in the feathers are good, I especially like the black splotches on his neck. Well done, I like this one.
