Scott, your previous Anhinga blew me away with the portrait composition and now you dazzle me with the with the whole bird. Great and I really enjoy this image. My favorite is still the portrait.

Sweet plumage. Could go brighter and I wish for a slight head turn.

Nice regal pose and good sharpness. It could be a bit brighter with more texture in the black feathers.
There's a strange wedge of blue at the top of the large white patch on the wing - I'll guess this comes from a spill over selection of the sky that you then painted blue in post processing. I also wonder if a vertical branch was cloned out from the left side of the frame.
