Seeing the previous version gave me the idea to show this. It was shot at Waco in Jan. I cropped the image this way since I liked the water trail behind the subject.(I also have it cropped more conventionally) Not sure of the composition on this version.

Dave, That's a big fish! I like the composition with the inclusion of the water trail, so often they get cropped out as do the water rings -Great eye contact on the Anhinga-
I love the comp! Yes, normally you'd want the bird on the right side of the frame but with that water trail you have to make an exception! Beautiful image Dave!
