I shot this one about two weeks ago in a lagoon close to where i live. The cormorant was on his typical lunch time looking for snacks. This is a nice place where several species gather such as: Great Cormorant, Gery Heron, Common Galinulle, common coot and a few more.
This was shot at 500mm f/6.3 HH, adjusted in LR, sharpened and resized in photoshop. All comments appreciated :)

Hi Luis,
I think these birds are really neat to capture, they're so unusual looking. This image looks really sharp - I love the placement of the bird in the frame, and the color/treatment of the water is very nice. For me, I would probably slightly darken around the eye and the bill as it looks a bit bright to me. I wonder what others will say? Nice job!

Very nice! Good thoughts from Kevin.
Is this a crop? It would be interesting to compare a version with a little more on the left and below.

Tanks Diane, the crop on this one was minimal.

Thanks for the comment Kevin, i agree with you, they are unusual (specially the big green eye).
