Rich found this pic in my library of pics from my journeys in the states. He suggested I post this pic from my trip to the Everglades in Florida. The bird is an Anhingas. They dive underwater to catch fish. Contrary to other waterfowl, the Anhingas doesnt' have a coating of oil on their feathers. After every dive they must sun themselves dry in order to fly again. They will stay in a wings outstretched position till they are fully dry or till a gator gets to close for comfort. Comments/critiques welcome.

My opinion....The out of focus body and wings of this bird overwhelm the in focus beak and head. A severe crop of the head and beak may be worth examining.

shakey

thanks for the advice shakey. I had hoped that showing the whole body would give the viewer a better understading the the unique character of the bird. It has been interesting to hear feedback from this and other pics I have shot. Amazing to hear such a variety of preference in reguards to the composition of a shot. As always, I am open and enjoy all constructive critisism. BTW, was this what you had in mind?

Love the original sTOrM.

Do you know what sort of Bird his or we might have to get our own Birdologist Kipper on to this specie ?
