It looks like the cormorant is ready to take a bow. Unfortunately, the other one looks as if it just wants to sleep. The clarity and focus of this shot is superb.

Love that blue sky.
The male is coming on too strong, but that's probably the only way he knows, bless his heart.
The tree catches my attention in its bareness against the sky.
I hope they make it longer than most humans do.
Good work

This is a very unique photo. I like the angle that you shot the birds at. your focus, and lighting are good as well. The bright blue background with no clouds or anything gives a nice effect. Well done! You did a great job :)

Great capture! I don't know what they are doing, but it shows very nice action. Great clarity and lighting. I like the detail of the bare tree limbs and the feathers. Very nicely done!

A fun and cute look at these cormorants. Like the blue sky, tree limbs, focus and frame with colors on their faces. Reminds me to go check our my local cormorant tree.

Excellent shot of the two cormorants on the old dead snag with a beautiful blue sky background. She's just playing coy for the ol boy! ha Nice photo Fred and thanks for sharing these two with us. Neat wildlife photo.
