    Stands out well against the BG. Pity about being angled away. Seems to be a greenish cast to the whites but I am on an uncalibrated monitor at work so may be wrong on this. Very impressive lokking bird.

    Whites look green on a calibrated monitor too so have tried a version reducing green on the white areas while leaving the green BG unaffected.

    Hi Rick Real nice bird and great bg !!! Was this recent? Didn't do well with them this year, very few passes at Anhinga maybe they found a better location for nesting material !!!

    Beautiful pose and bg Don't mind the bird going away in this instance and great overall feel !!!

    Thanks for sharing, Rick. That must be a real challenge. Using the info palette to check the levels in each channel on neutrals may help but not sure what other suggestions to offer.
