Finally got to spend a few hours at Anhinga Trail on a very overcast day and without mosquitoes. Hopefully it will get better when more birds finally make it all the way down here. I was in the process of photographing another Anhinga when I spotted this guy coming in, needless to say that I was not ready for him because i should have used a higher shutter speed.

Hi Oscar - the colours and BG are very appealing, like the blurred wings and the eye still relatively sharp.
Not sure about the positioning in the frame.
My type of image Oscar Love the feel its very well done !! If anything a little better head angle and would take a little of the top to accentuate the forward movement !! Big Congrats !!!
I like that you were able to keep the head sharp while capturing the blur of the wings. Really shows motion. I think you did a good job of reacting to capture this image. I like. I agree with Alfred that if the bird had been flying more toward you this would have been killer!. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
