Bill, I like the effect on the Anhinga and the HA is great. I would have preferred him to the right a bit. I love the high-key BG and the color rendition is appealing. I wish his tail wasn't merged with the post. But I still find this to be an excellent piece!! Well done.

Hi Bill, Agree with stated comments and I find the graphic quality of the image to be quite appealing. The HK works well here along with the muted colors. Should make a great print!

Thanks guys(and gals). I do have a similar image, without the tail merge problem, and actually a better head angle, that I will post next. I'll move the subject to the left as well. regards~Bill
