Anhinga

[David Pugsley]

This Anhinga was shot at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, FL. I was taken by the perch and background. Please let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Nice pose and I like the colour of the maple seeds, David. BG is a little distracting and it may be worth trying a version with some blurring and darkening of the BG. Shadows on the tail could be lightened if so inclined.

I like the pose and setting. I wish the head were parallel to the sensor and I would try to get more details in the blacks.
