Waking Up at Anhinga

[Richard Waas]

This guy was just waking up on my early morning trip to Anhinga Trail. This presunrise image was photographed with my Canon 40D. ISO 200, f/8.0, 1/400 sec, 80-400mm Sigma, 400mm, Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. Comments welcome.

Well done Mr. Waas,
I like the composition, image and capture...the multi-toned colors in the background does it here. The silhouette of the bird is nice and sharp and he's placed just right in frame...congrats...:cool:

I do like this!!! ditto Gus on the colours and comp.

[Dave Woeller]

As stated above, the colors are wonderful. The background seems really clean and noise free to me. Thanks for sharing.

Richard, I love everything about this! The colors are great!!! Your bird looks sharp!Well done!

[Nonda Surratt]

Super nice Richard!!! The raised foot adds a special touch.

[Rob Mckenzie]

Such a beautiful comp. The foliage looks great with some in focus and some out. The Sky colour/gradient is incredible.
On an aside it does look like a scene out of Karate Kid

[Glenn Romain]

Superb Capture Richard :)

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Excellent capture Richard. Pose is really great and the colors are awesome.

[Kerry Perkins]

Gorgeous BG Richard, might just be tempted to take out the leaves that are not a deep black in between and around the perch. Would love it as a print too.
