Photography exploring Landscape. Wildlife. Travel. Culture. Life.
Anhinga and the Bottle Brush
Just like every good movie has a great actor and strong supporting actor, every great Nature photo reads the same way. This female anhinga is a regal and fascinating bird with striking feathers and an unusual ability (for a bird) to swim underwater. But this contrasting and colorful setting, the bottlebrush tree makes this image sing.
Female anhinga perches in the Bottle Brush tree, lakeside, in Naples, Florida.
As I adjusted my ISO to 1250 and focused on the bird, my friend Cecil said quietly to me, “That’s the money shot.” Thank you, Cecil.
