Anhinga

[Mike Landwehr]

I know it's just another anhinga portrait, but I love the furry look of the females' necks, their deep, red eyes, and their upswept, pointed beaks. This one was at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. All C&C welcome!

Nice portrait with good feather detail and BG, love that eye

Impressive detail and sharpness for such long glass Mike, a wonderfully clear shot.

I might try to dodge the shadows at the bottom a bit to bring up the detail there.

a very nice portrait,

You've done well here Mike to get the detail in the Anhinga especially with the x2 extender.

nice portrait and great BG. I would sharpen a tad more. TFS

Super portrait especially with the long lens and TC. The detail on the feathers is great, looks like fur. Nice sharp eye and beak. A little noise in the BG but hardly noticeable.
