The Anhinga always looks to me like a bird assembled by a committee. Especially the females, with their long necks dressed in what appears to be brown fur. Check out the feet. This lady is preening and primping for all she is worth, an very aware of herself.<\/p>\n

The light is from the back here, and a bit of a challenge, and not close…across the full width of a Alligator Lake at Estero Llano Grande State Park (about 60 feet at this point), but the bird is\u00a0irresistible…if you are into birds.<\/p>\n

Zeiss PhotoScope 85FL at 40x (about 1600mm equivalent field of view). 1\/35 and 1\/40th sec. @ ISO 100. Metered at about f5.0.<\/p>\n

Basic increased Clarity and Sharpen Landscape preset in Lightroom. Blackpoint to the right slightly. A touch of Recovery for the highlights.<\/p>\n
