I bet everyone who goes to Anhinga Trail takes this shot. I took it while my students were also shooting these guys a few weekends ago. The nice light caught my eye and the contrast of orange and greens.

Hi Paul, I really like the contrast of the greens and orange. I think that the green background helps enhance this contrast. Great detail and an interesting crop that displays the your subject very nicely. Thanks for sharing.

I never get tired of Cormies. Lots of detail and complimentary BG. I think this year we are going to get some blue mouths :)

BTW, long time no see :(

Very lovely capture of the cormie eye Paul. The lighting really shows off the color so well. Fine work !!

You took this with a 180mm macro!!! I am going to keep looking at this one for hours before I comment anything :)

Very cool, Paul. Terrific color and detail, and obvious cooperation on the part of the cormie. Hope your workshop went well.

Man, I would need a 1800mm lens to make such a portrait like this of a spanish cormi :D

I just love the eye, fantastic, and the way it combines with the intense green in the Bg. Really good portrait Paul:)
