Double-crested Cormorant.

[Karl Egressy]

This bird species is not very well liked around here for a good reason; they are very aggressively pushing other species out.
This guy and a few more are still around but all the rest has left already.
Shot vertical, almost full frame.
Background slightly blurred, rock darkened, some poops removed.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent image. Wonderful details on bird, beautiful colors,BG and rocky perch.
Love the pose with nice HA, feather details on wings and of course composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Perfect HA, IQ is spot on, nice light. I'd probably tone down some of the blue in the BG.

Karl I can't make any suggestions to improve it looks very good to me.

Well done, Karl. I like the textures of the rock and the varied BG.
