The anhingas at the Viera Wetlands are fun to work with. When they catch a fish they will usually come ashore to dine on it. They will pose for you just as long as you don't try to take their fish.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Peter and don't worry about competing with anyone. The only prize anyone gets around here is improving one's own work and hopefully some motivation.

    Wow, I think I can touch the screen and feel the feathers since the images are so sharp; tack sharp eye contact too! It's nice to see the skewered prey as well.
