Comment from avmurray
You have pictured this Anhinga so well Eileen, and I especially like the way it is posing for you With the wings open. The all green and softened background is making the bird stand out in an excellent way.
The photo is Nice and Sharp showing such Clear and well defined details in the feathers of the wings, and the exposure is spot on.
The format you have cropped the photo into Works well and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo and With an excellent DOF.

Comment from Jo Calderbank
A wonderful capture Eileen. I like the way the light picks up the detail on the glossy wings, good focus and clarity, nice catch light in the eye. The bird stands out clearly against the the muted back ground. Well framed for maximum impact.
Good luck in the contest. Jo

Eileen,
A beautiful picture of this male Ahininga, Snake bird the sunlight glistening on it's wet wings held out from it's body to dry in the warmth of the sun's rays. It's dark head & twisted smoke like neck standing out from the blurred green & black background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Cool,Eileen!
That's a fine looking photograph of this adult male specimen,my friend!
'Snake Birds' fascinate me anyway and this one looks especially interesting set against the dark green background of the image!

Comment from Nature Rick
Nice portrait photograph of an Anhinga, This is a very interesting bird to watch when they come out from underwater, they stand on a stump or rock and hold out their wings to dry their feathers. Natural colors and tones in the scene. nice feather detail, good lighting, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Wildlife Photograph, well done!
