Taken this morning at Anhinga Trail

Just bought PS PS3 today, maybe someone could make it look pretty for me.

Hey Gary,
Nice seeing you today at Anhinga.
Love the details on your tricolor. Nice blue background. I would crop just a wee bit from the left of the frame to offset your subject, rule of 1/3rd. also clone out the branch to the right; it distracts focus to your bird...:D

Congrats...

Gus...:cool:

Gary,
See if you like my correction...:) I cropped from the left to offset your subject rule of 1/3rd, cloned out the branch on the right, increased the contrast, increased the color hue, and did a little sharpening...:D:D:D

Hi Gary It was fun today !!! Nice Green Heron !!

I like the re-post Would suggest having more room at the bottom The toes are very close to the edge

Would like to see all the tech info listed Makes it easier to evaluate and help The critical focus for this image is the breast part of the bird You should have it right at the eye It is important having razor sharp eyes !!!!

to have captured any bird other than a vulture at anhinga was a great accomplishment. CONGRATS!! agree with al on this. focal point needs to be on the eye. great to meet you. sure i'll see you around soon.
