    After the fog lifted I went to Circle B Bar Reserve today. This Anhinga was very accommodating in posing and staying perched as I clicked away. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Hi Joe, sweet looking pose here and the white feathers on the anhinga are a bonus. Sharpness seems to lessen on the top of the head and below the beak, also has some tint of blue/green? I wouldn't know how to improve that and it certainly doesn't distract me from a lovely portrait. Sweet BG too! Its always a good day to go to Circle B. I once saw the absolute largest alligator crossing the road/path, it honestly was as long as the road was wide and i couldn't believe my eyes. Whoaaaaaaahhh!

    Nice portrait. Beautiful eye and love the white feathers on the head/neck. I'd give it a little more room to the crop on the left. Well done.

    Beautiful image, I think Lorant's suggestion is spot on.
