    Great shot Dennis. Like the placement in the frame with lots of details. would consider cloning out the bright green blade directly underneath the Anhinga.
    Congrats,

    Nice behavior shot here. The BG is not good but could be improved by removing the white spot in the upper right, the white stuff under the bird, the reed that is so strong on the birds left and the green leaf under the bird. You could also blur the BG a little after removing all of the above.

    HI Dennis - love the action - you have good details in your blacks and sharp details. Well done !

    Hope you have some more with more of the action - woul dbe nice to see a bit more eye on both the bird and the fish.
    Made a few changes for you - some S/H on the fish and tried to make the eye a little more prominent, sharpened the eye on the bird, removed green blade of grass and white spot top RHS.
    Any improvement?

    Fine image Dennis Well exposed sharp and good pose Had some great suggestions and fine re post by Lance. Only thing I can add is the point of focus is more on the shoulder than the head? Excellent capture !!!

    Hi Dennis,
    First of all, let me say that it was a pleasure shooting with you at Shark Valley this past weekend...and second, I like your composition, image and capture. Mr. Peters' repost put this one over the top...all of the techs. and good advise have been addressed by our fine BPN brothers...all I can say to you is to keep on practicing , and to have allot of patience, look at your backgrounds and track your light; this is the key. The rest will become second nature to you with time...you did well...:) looking forward to more of your captures...:cool:
