Anhinga melanogaster to be precise. Oriental darter.
Another shot taken from a canoe in darkest Borneo. This is quite a high key image and not my usual crisp, clear style. Nevertheless it is one of my favourites from the trip and one I have reworked several times. This is my first B&W rendition.
Incidentally, if you are really interested in Borneo I do recommend The Malay Archipelago by Alfred Russel Wallace. Google Books describes it as a work of astounding breadth and originality that chronicles the British naturalist’s scientific exploration of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and New Guinea between 1854 and 1862. This is a book I have read twice and will undoubtedly read again.
All downhill from here 
Love this one. It has great geometry, love the water and bokeh. Cool shot.
Such a graceful pose. I like it in black and white. 🙂
Thank you Marsha 🙂
As they say; if a book is worth reading once – not all are – it is probably worth reading a second time…
I love this shot.
Excellent action shot! Love the B&W too.
I couldn’t agree with you more about “The Malay Archipelego” by Alfred Russell Wallace. Another Welshman by the way! 😉
I read the book probably about 15 years ago when I went to Indonesia. Part of that trip was crossing the Wallace Channel between Bali and Lombok on the way to Komodo Island.
That bird appears to have a huge wing span. I like the B&W but I think I would have preferred to see the bird in color but none the less it is a good one. I see the comment above liked the B&W. Since it is a bird that I have never seen before, I reckon that is why I prefer color for this one.
I love it, the black and white really makes this shot, what a fantastic angle to have caught this from.
