Anhinga Reflects and Eats
The other day I posted an image of an Anhinga knifing through the water. This is the same Anhinga about five minutes later, catching her meal. I liked the reflection created by the bird and prey.

Hi Milt - the composition is quite interesting - is this a large crop??
Seems to be a lack of fine detail and a considerable amount of noise - also seems to be a quite strong colour cast.
This is a vertical crop of a horizontal capture, about 1/3 of the original. The original was dark but the water and the sky were a very deep blue. I was drawn to the reflection/composition rather than the bird details.Originally Posted by Lance Peters
Like the shot Milt. Like the behaviour here and the reflection. Agree with Lance on the techs. But like it anyways.
Hi Milt The reflection is form the sky but not sure how it got so strong, toned it down a bit and tweaked image with curves.
Alfred, many thanks for your tweaking the image. You have made it a great deal stronger. I like it even better now.
