    Default Anhinga

    Shot this in early morning light at Lake Eola in Orlando, FL. I was very excited with the lighting, and surprised the Anhinga let me get this close.

    Minor post-processing, mostly adding more contrast and straightening. I did have to remove a few distracting elements from the background, but nothing major. Noise reduction and sharpening applied in Lightroom.

    Nikon D7000 | Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8
    230mm | 1/200 s | f/6.3 | ISO 800

    Stephen - nice shot! Love the details that you were able to capture in the wings. It's not every day that you get a chance to see something like that. Who said you can't shoot backlit birds?! Well executed!

    Stephen,

    Really like this one! Well done and a original looking photograph. Maybe clean up some objects on the LRHC edge but this is nit-picking. As you have figured out we do not shoot the subject we shoot the light,..just love it as presented!

    Keep em coming!

    Thanks Miguel and Jeff!

    I'm a little new to this, so could you help me out by explaining what LRHC is?

    Super light! The outlines and the fact that the wings have it shine through does make it very interesting.
    IMHO you could darken the greens
