Troy, I would be happy with that shot too. Excellent pose, head angle, detail, and color. The bg is perfect and I love the grass. What a great placement of the head and neck relative to the body, lining up with the tail and pointing at the corner of the frame. Super! :5

What makes this for me is he is out of the environment we usually see them. Techs look spot on and I love that he is on those rocks.

Nice one Troy. Beautiful BG and great pose, exposure spot on. I tried a modest Deblur in Topaz Infocus to push the sharpening a little further and to my eye it worked and added just a little extra punch to the image.

Great shot. The image exposure and light is excellent. Looks very sharp to me.
Personally, I would prefer a more natural habitat for this bird.

Looks perfect to me, nice technique at 1200, any suggestions for increased stability to those of us that are new?
I love the color of the background as many posted as well.

Stan,

It was mounted on wimberly II on Gitzo, I have one hand stabilizing the front end of the lens, and I believe I may have used mirror up to avoid vibration.

Thanks Troy, I've never messed with the mirror, I should look into learning about that. You take some great pictures!

One of the best Anhinga images I've ever seen.
