Theme: That sinking feeling

[Colin Driscoll]

I love the way Darters (Anhinga) just sink rather than duck dive to go hunting.
A bit of a challenge to anticipate when they start and to follow them down, it all happens quickly.
It's taken a while to get a shot that I am not unhappy with, could have done with better light than the early morning sun.

I like what you were trying to d here but that orange light on the head is weird. It makes all the details look crunchy.
I think this would be a very strong and unusual image if you had better light,

Yes thanks Gail, a wishful thinking post. I will eventually get this in the right light.

Pretty neat image. Not something you usually see. The pano is crop is nice.
