Description

The morning light reflects off this male Anhinga as his electric breeding colors and plumage come to life. Image captured at Anhinga Trail, Royal Palm, ENP, Florida with Canon 1-D Mark II N, f/10 @1/1250 with -2/3 ec. Note - f/10 allowed a deeper depth of field allowing the head detail good sharpness while still blurring the vegetation and water in the background, which in turn brings focus to your subject.

Exif: FNumber: 10, ExposureBiasValue: -2/3, ExposureTime: 0.0008, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 640, WhiteBalance:

I take the honor of being the first to comment. Males have such lovely plumage, that they seem to preen and groom more than the female of the species. The blend of backround colors pick up the color around the eye.So well done. Peace, karen #421420

Karen, Orsi and Janine - Please forgive our tardiness in answering but... as Janine has heard already - life gets in the way sometimes. Besides work and trying out our new "toy", our baby Tiki (our dog - Weimeiraner) has had to have surgery for a malignant tumor and we are still nursing her back to health... Thank you for your comments! We do appreciate them! Dick & Sara #2681829
