A very nicely composed shot in a great natural setting. Very nice detail in his black plumage. An attractive pose and excellent colors in the trees.

Being a Brit, I never thought that there were mountains in Florida! Your fine and central composition captures a lovely nature moment. Love that wing display. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

    Ha! Well here's the scoop: The Mount in Mount Dora reflects the fact that the town is on a plateau a whopping 184 feet above sea level :) The town was known as Royellou but in the mid 1800's was changed to Mt. Dora after an early settler.

Great nature capture showing this Anhinga wing span. Lovely background of tree leaves some highlighted in the sun. A pity the focus of his face and eye is not clear as that would make it a stand out shot. Otherwise a very nicely composed shot.

I like how you composed the photo. The pose of the bird is impressive. The photo is well focused and exposed. The bird is perfectly placed within the fame. To see the beautiful bird overhead in front of the abundant nature is impressive. I appreciate the realism of light and colors. The photo is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

A great pose captured however the image seems a little blurred with no sharp focus on the eye of the bird. Good composition showing the natural environment.
