Before & After Anhingas

[DBeck]

First of all I'd like to say Happy New Year to everyone at DPSF! It's freezing here in NYC and it made me reminisce about my Costa Rica trip a few years ago. Here are two photos before and after of a beautiful Anhinga I took. I wish I would have had my Canon EOS at the time but the photo was taken with a shoot & Point.

that's really impressive how vibrant it became! Nicely done.

That is one big blue bird! I thought they were all just black. Great capture!

Thank you peeper. I did a white balance and tone adjustment in Lightroom as well as play with the curves a bit. I then did some noise reduction and sharpening in Photoshop

Thank you dlaf. I was on a boat and was very lucky to get the shot. He opened his wings right as we went past him.
