This shot is from a river in Costa Rica. Saw this Anhinga showing its' beautiful back. I really like the way the broken part of the log mimicked the angle of the beak.

Comments welcomed and appreciated.

Larger version shows much better detail.

Techs:
Canon 5D
500mm f/4 with 1.4x TC
1/4000 @ f/8, ISO 800
Handheld

Nice lines and comp in this. The blue bg sets your "piano bird" off nicely! Sharon

Beautiful. Large version is amazing.
I found this bird today, but no success in getting a nice shot. Too much bush.
