Male Anhinga

It's nest building again at Royal palm.
I know the background is a bit busy but is out of focus enough to draw attention to the bird.

Nice capture. I don't mind the background at all. Its just enough OOF to highlight the beautifully focused bird, AND places the animal in its habitat.

Rick - I'd prefer just a pinch more of background blur, for separation. Anyhow, this is an outstanding behavioral shot. Looks very sharp and great definition on the wings and tail feathers.

Isolation of subject from BG well done , Rick !! Angle displays all the action plus the added bonus of the dorsal feathering You would be well pleased with this image.
Best regards
