Anhinga Preening

Gallery: AvianPosted May 9, 20163,247 views9 comments

My presence didn't seem to bother this female Anhinga at all. I was able make several images of her as she preened and posed. I liked the curve of her neck and the background tones of this shot. Cropped slightly for composition. From my Florida trip.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Oh boy, Steve, this is a beauty! I love the composition, the background, and especially that light illuminating the underside of the head. Well done. devil
