I took Veejaycee's advise and cropped this picture, I pulled it up a little from the bottom and also pulled in the right-hand side closer to the birds wing.

The nature of the pose of the Anhinga really is the focal point of the picture for me with the serpentine nature of the extended neck and the spread of the bird's wings with the contrast between the darkened plumage and the lightness of the background serving to enhance the nature of the pose for me.

Sharp, well exposed and with a very pleasant background bokeh (must get myself one of those Nikon 300mm f2.8s - when I win the lottery).
I'd like to suggest a crop from the bottom to just below the tail and the right to just right of the wing. This is not simply for the sake of composition - it also seems to accentuate the aggressive pose of the bird.
