(sorry, not sure why the top of the photo is cut off in the gallery view, and don't know how to fix it) The local county fair has contest in a LOT of photography categories. One is "B&W Animal". Given that we live in a rural county I think the judges are expecting farm animals, so my entry isn't likely to get an award. But, as I don't have any farm life photos I was thinking of the photos that I had that might look ok in B&W and this anhinga came to mind since it is largely a black and white bird. I was pretty happy with the results so I'm sharing it (again - was in color last time and had to crop a bit to print this 8x10) here.
Thanks Lee. The area is very rural. I'm thinking of submitting this one in the "Still Life" category - seems fitting, and a bit whimsical.
