This image was taken after sunrise in Yucatan in Mexico. It has a minor crop, cloned out a branch from the bottom,I did web resizing and some smart sharpening. Thanks for looking.

Very nice capture, Lorant. A little tight in the frame. Good exposure, and you may get even more detail out of the blacks in the bird's back.
Big welcome to BPN :)
Lorant,
Nice Mexican Anhinga:). The image is sharp and I like the pose.
In this case the head is turned slightly away from parallel, however it works for me due to the Anhinga's eye looking back at you.
Fabs mentioned the slightly "tight" composition.
Based of your exposure data and some math +/-, it looks about 2/3 of a stop underexposed.

Lovely sharpness and detail - agree re trying to extract more detail in the darks. Blue works well with the yellow of the bill but maybe a bit more blue than I can recall seeing in real life - but then I have never been to Mexico:(
