Hi Al,
Very unique pose and expression. Love the BG and details on this one. Excellent work!
Very cool, Al! I really like the composition, and detail throughout. Good work catching him at the height of action!
Ok, so what is your secret to making an Anhinga yawn like this? :) Very cool! I think it's very odd how many Anhinga have the breeding plumes in their feathers, but no color in the lores and skin around their eyes. Lovely background and action here Alfred...along with great DOF to get everything important in focus.
Love the accurate exposure, the sharpness, the bokeh and of course the wide open beak. They look quite different from our aussie specie. Does this one have breeding plumage ?
Excellent detail Al and that wide open mouth gives so much impact against a sweet BG!!
Alfred--definitely has the WOW! effect. Terrific image.

Ditto above, unique expression and I enjoy portrait shots very much. We have similiar birds over/down across (depends where you live I guess), here in Oz, often referred to as Snake Birds due to the neck.
What kind of joke did you tell him to get this great looking pose?
Well done!
Greetings,

You are fast becomming the headshot man around here! Lovely pose and detail throughout! Excellent job!
Not your average 'bird portrait' - I really believe you've captured some personality and the technical aspects seem to be spot on. Great post!
great details and good exposure , love the pose aswell .
Not quite It does have the brownish feathers but needs the brilliant blue eye !!! Most of those are busy nesting etc to pose for us :)Originally Posted by Thonnaksar NOP
You did clean up with that bird :)
Excellent work Alfred!!!
I Iove the pose,details,open mouth and BG!!!!
Sweet capture.No doubt !
There a perky pose for you. Well done being ready for the action. Good stuff.
this is just beautiful!!
Cool pose, details and BG. Because no one else mentioned it, out of curiosity I had a look at the histogram to make sure it's not my monitor. Some of the blacks look blocked here. Long introduction for a small observation. :)
Great pose, detail, exposure, BG, eye contact, etc....:)
absolute stunner. liked the expressions, the details & the exposure...
rgds,
