Agree on the grass, but wonder if just removing the upper left big one would do the trick? Would def get rid of sticks running into birds breast.

Nice and sharp, excellent job on exposure!!!! Wish the bird wasn't look quite so much towards you so the eye would show up a bit better

well I have looked at this long enough... each time I come back to it - the thing that my eyes gets attracted to more than anything is the green grass; it does give the image depth but it competes greatly with the amazing snake bird.

Fantastic detail, Gail. The only thing I would nit a bit is maybe a little more saturation in the background? Although, I dunno, that might detract from the 3D look.

This is a anhinga aka snakebird. Very funny looking bird.

Wow. Great catch! What is it?
