    Joe, man this looks like an Indian head dress. Sweet hair-do and check out that gnarly beak!?

    Super sweet bkg and silky soft feathers. Digging those for sure.

    Love that you took a crack at a vertical pano crop, but for me I feel like going wider would help.

    Would love to get to some nice FL shoreline to shoot these one day!

    Nice portrait of this anhinga. Perfect head angle. Nice thinking on going vertical.
