This is another image I captured at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida last Friday morning. The rookery and boardwalk allows one to get up close and personal to these beautiful creatures.

Amazing breeding colors. Interesting turquoise hue, as I have generally seen them a bit more green/yellow.
I have only been to Gatorland once, but it is a very interesting place for sure.
Pano crop clearly the way to go here. I might consider a little more room on each side, just personal taste.
I like the sharpness, details, BG and exposure. I like the repost better but would add a bit more in front of the beak and take a little off behind the head. Nice image Joe.
