Sandy, I've seen these from a distance in SC, but never close enough to get a photo such as this. Beautiful with nice detail and lighting. The 'head' shot works very well and the pose is super! Interesting background and dof as well. Ya, well done!

Very nice Sandy. A closer crop for me to see the detail would be nice.

Nice classic pose, Sandy. The eye looks a bit soft, which is odd given the ss.

Lance, the nictitating membrane is closed, so the eye is a bit soft despite the high SS.

Nice view of this anhinga. My birds here in Texas don't seem to be as brightly colored and I like this here. The colors are nicely repeated in the background.
