Many of you saw this action at Wakodahatchee on the day of the BPN get-together. Fabs videoed it on the MarkIV. First time for baby cormorants at Wako,

ID Mark III, 500 + 1.4TC
ISO 400, f 6.3, 1/1250

Feeding scene well photographed Susan, Beautiful colors, great BG and the contrasts are good too. Lots of details in the feathers already but I would have slightly sharpened it.

Hi Susan

This is an excellent bird behaviour shot with good details in the blacks. Branches create a framing effect. You can see well lit faces of all the birds and like the moment of capture of one of the chicks beak in the mouth of the parent. Well done.

Nice feeding shot but a bit centered -- crop some off the right side to bring the picture off center. The right side does not add much to the picture. The branches in the nest are a bit bright -- you might be able to darken those

I second some cropping from the right and more sharpening.

Look out Wako. Baby cormorants make more baby cormorants when they grow up. Nice action image Susan. I agree, some more sharpening would do the trick.
