an excellent close up ortrait Eileen of this male cormorant posing so nicely for you;
I like the aspect of his wet plumage and particularly the tiny feathers on his head and neck.

This is an awesome bird! I'm laughing at your notes re the showdown with the crow! He looks great! I love his head up pose! This is of course! Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, his colortones appear natural! I like that blue eye! Nice detail throughout! Well composed with perfect placement in the frame. Well presented!

Eileen,
A beautiful picture of this haughty looking Cormorant posing upright for you head turned so it can get s better look at you. The light glistening on it's wet plumage the dappled light & shade in the background is an added bonus. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
