Sunrise Clean-up Crew

These "beauties" can always be seen at Anhinga Trail as a small group seems to roost there for the night. But on this dawn, with a freshly dead and sizable gator, the place was crawling with the clean-up crew! Even though this "phantom of the opera" is asthetically challenged, I wanted the sunrise in that most functional of avian eyes.

Great details, soft light and the composition works well, too. I might remove the green patch in the upper left.

David lovely portrait and I really like your idea of the "sunrise in the eye".

David, Beautiful details and great BG. The eye is terrific.

Great techs and details. Very good use of rising sun in the eye reflections. Cool! Well done. :)
