Great light and the dark BG makes the image really pop. I would run a little selective USM on only the face and the bill.

Did you think about a horiz crop on this one, it might work also.

Very nice, Scott, for web presentation, I'd crop some off the top. Great detail and good catch light.
Great to have met you :)

Beautiful image Scott, I really like the light and color. I agree also about cropping some off the top to tighten up this fantastic portrait. Very well done.

Love the details. The composition could be horizontal.

[Gus Cobos]

A superb Anhinga. Hard to make one of these beautiful, but I think you have succeeded here!

[Scott Goetz]

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
I hadnt considered a horizontal crop, but I agree, it works!
I will incorporate the other suggestions before printng: a bit off the top, a bit sharper along the beak.
