Wow, that is close and such excellent detail stands out in his face and head feathers. I like the sparkle in his eye and the angle of his face shows the bill color so nicely. He's so cute he's almost kissable.

this is a wonderful close up portrait of the cormorant Helvi: very sharp focus and excellent control of exposure despite the backlighting on his head,

Helvi,
A beautiful picture of the Cormorant up close & very personal as it looks as if it were about to start preening it's shoulder the view in the background making the perfect backdrop. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Very cool shot of commemorate that you have captured. The close-up and the detail in the head and body is excellent. I do like the background as it shows where the subject is. Detail, composition, colors, depth of field are all very good.

Comment from nature rules
This is a fine close up of this cormorant, Helvi. And yes...I see the water droplets.
You have really done a fine job of working with the light and shadows here...as he has turned his head out of the light forcing you to use it almost as back lighting. Sometimes a face can easily get lost in shadows in that situation. But you have sustained the clarity of the eye and the lovely color and detail on the beak. And I like the position of the head. He has a bit of an aloof look for you, eh? Beautiful water colors and brilliant sky...horizon may be just a bit low on the left. But the scene is a beautiful backdrop for your successful capture of this bird. Congratulations! And thank you for sharing.

Hi Rebecka, Hope I got your name right! I worked very hard on the eye and the beak so it wouldn't get lost in the shadows. I'm always honored when I receive a wonderful review from you like this. Thank you SO MUCH!
While I'm here I would like to congratulate you on winning the "Light Contest"! I loved that image of your granddaughter with that "zebra effect of light and shadow! Awesome job my Friend! :o) Helvi
