This image was taken on the Anhinga trail early on a foggy morning - before the sun burned through. Given what these birds eat, it is interesting (to me, at least) that they always seem to have perfectly clean heads and beaks - not to mention their interesting personalities that makes it fun to observe these birds. 20D, 70-200 f/2.8 (at 200), 1/60, f/5.6, ISO 400. Comments welcome.
Works for me Steve. I like how you have him entering the image. Very sharp and nice detail in the dark feathers. Soft light is wonderful. BG is good as well.
