Nice detail, love the red eye and the vertical composition.

Very sweet but for the salt-encrusted bill. The BKGR is killer? Where and when exactly did you make this image? I have never seen an Anhinga that close at GL.

Really great work here Joe. The bird, colour, IQ, lighting and processing all look tops to me. And that red eye!
