Luke, this is an interesting catch, for the fish and for you.The bird and bluegill are nicely in focused and have nice and natural colors. The spot in the upper right corner could be natural, but it might not hurt for it to be removed.

Cool, Luke. Sure gives a feel of the relative size of the bird and the fish.

Good catch! The bird is a male Anhinga, I believe.

Phil - thanks for the correction. I was assuming cormorant because, well that's what I'm used to in the Northeast, but clearly it's an Anhinga based on the eye color, face, bill etc. Thank you!
