Just one of many we took on recent trip to Florida. This one was sitting on the fence near Anhinga Trail, Everglades Park.

Slight crop to right, left and bottom

Look forward to your comments. Still wishing for PS so all processing done in Bibble.

Thanks very much,
Natalie

Hi Natalie - I love this - well done, lots of detail al round, great eye contact - exposure is spot on and the BG colours compliment the bird so well.

Big Congrats :)

Tack sharp Natalie. You even have great texture, even in the beak! Must be nice to be so close. Great exposure too!

Thank you so much. The saturation is up at 2 (for Bibble). I luckily did not have to adjust this image too much.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Natalie,
This is a masterpiece indeed. You need to hang it in a frame. How I wish I could get so close to a wild bird like this in my neck of the woods! You guys are fortunate indeed. :)
