I really like the overall composition, contrast and background colors. The larger image has some wonderful feather detail. Many times not showing all the bird in the frame does not work but this works just fine for me. Excellent shot.

Another beautiful Anhinga image, Wayne. You've really nailed these. I love the detailed plumage and the interesting poses. Your bgs have also been fabulous.

I really am enjoying all of the colors in this image which just screams "Florida" to me. Nice details and lighting as well - though you may be able to pull out a bit more detail on the back

Lovely image, Wayne. Hard to fit the entirety of these huge birds into a frame. I like the comp you have chosen, it emphasizes the best parts.
