Anhinga: Green Cay Wetlands<\/p><\/div>\n

There were several birds in this tree. A Red-shouldered Hawk at the top. White Ibis lower, and this Anhinga in the lowest branches. And it is such a great tree! You can see from the abundance of white-wash that the birds really really like it. The tree and the background are as important in the image, for me, as the bird itself.<\/p>\n

The challenge of the Anhinga is the range of contrast between the silvery white of the wing patterns, through jet black, to the gold of the throat. The fur-like feathers on the upper breast and throat provide a real test for the resolution of your system.<\/p>\n

Just my basic added Clarity and the Sharpen landscapes preset in Lightroom. Only a touch of Vibrance.<\/p>\n
