Anhinga male (breeding plumage and colors)
I captured this image at the rookery in the alligator breeding pond at Gatorland, Orlando, Florida. I have been working on adding titles, captions, key words and archiving my files. I started from scratch and reworked this image to better suit what I like in an image now. For those unfamiliar with Gatorland, the first impression is of an overdose of breeding and nesting birds. Too many birds, bad backgrounds, dappled light from shadows, but if one is selective quality images can be found. The birds are most times very close, so a very long lens is not needed. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
