This is an excellent stop in action. The line of splashes where the bird touched the water is intriguing, the reflection interesting. I also appreciate the realistic colors and the balanced framing.

Nice stop of this action! I love the trail of splashes the cormorant leaves behind and his reflection on the water, it's as if he is skipping across the lake to get away. The water splashes are well focused, nice and clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones appear natural. I think water in motion is so beautiful! Well composed with the bird moving diagonally in the frame. Well presented!

What a capture again - you must be hours in one spot to get all these special animal shot together - a really master capture and virtual 6 star - super frame and use of space , excellent camera settings, clear and sharp in details even on distance -
I like the footprints in the water - a really great capture, thanks for sharing

He is really taking off like a jet! His wife must have caught him doing something naughty!:) Good shot! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well.

Nice shot capturing the individual splashes created by the bird as it skims the water in it take off. The water drops look like little gems sparkling in the light. Nice reflections of the bird. Well seen and captured.

Very nice stop action and a first time posting here on Far of a Cormorant " running" on water.
Great timing, fine focus, nice white balance control and great details on the water impact splashing.
Nicely done Greenie :-)

A nice nature action photo posted here! Your fine composition captures a dramatic moment in the take-off! Like the detail in the wake. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

Great capture here Grace. Those splashes frozen in mid air really give this scene a nice bit of drama. The compositions works well with this scene. Nice one Grace ~ Steve
