Welcome to BPN troy!! Nice first image...and good intimate view of the swimming cormorant - the great low angle has a big positive impact on that intimate view. I only wish the subject wasn't swimming away from you, or at the very least had it's head turned more towards you for a better look at that beautiful emerald eye.

Troy:

Welcome to the Avian board at BPN. A great place to learn and grow. Daniel hit the high points in his critique. The shooting angle really helps.

I might consider toning down the bright green areas at the top of the frame, just a bit, as it tends to draw the eye away from the bird.

By the way, you need to use your real name, not your business name as your participant name.

Cheers

Randy

Sorry about that, I was rushing to do it before heading to work this morning.

Daniel, I totally agree. I will do better next time.
