I like the way you included the environment in this shot. You have nice detail on the bird. Excellent.

Great framing, Doug. I love the composition. Depth of field is just about perfect and the focal point is right where it needs to be.

Absolutely lovely setting ! It took me some seconds to figure out how exactly the situation was, though … Pose of the Anhinga helps as well to make this a wonderful shot. Well seen and executed. Cheers, Hans

I love this photo, Doug! Everything works in this, including the centered composition. The textured background of mosses is a perfect setting for a bird with lots of interesting textures. The branch extending into the scene and providing the perch really adds to the 3-D effect. The large version is especially nice because it provides a strong sense of presence. Very nice!!
