    Since this is my first month posting I had to do a black one for the theme. This image was taken at Green Cay Wetlands in Delray Florida. Cropped less than 10% for presentation.

    All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for looking

    Better with a quick BG cleanup?

    Much better with the quick clean up. Just a bit of refinement to go to avoid the repeating patterns and jagged lines. Even easier to eliminate a distracting BG if this area is easy to get a lower angle with (and no alligators close by!). Perfect exposure, great colours, and the head angle is just right.

    Thank you Daniel, I'll invest some time to clean the background when I can.

    Lovely colors, good pose, nicely exposed. A lower POV would have brought it up a notch.
