Common Cormorants main Habitat, As i Remember I was in Foggy Morning And I cannot seen not a single bird, As foggy goes down slowly slowly I saw Mysterious land in front of my eyes.. all Cormorants looking at me silently for few seconds. Lucky that Cormorants are friendly to humans.. otherwise they are thinking to hunt me down. Just kidding:bg3:
But yes, it was very small time when I and all cormorants looking at each other. it was really scary feels.

Joshi - Quite the stunning image you have captured here! I love the mood to this shot, maybe you can increase the contrast a little bit to make it more dramatic. Reflections are nice, but I think that it occupies too much of the frame. I could see why you thought they were going to hunt you down - very eerie scene here.

Hi Joshi, I like the setting, and Im fine with the reflections below - they add to the scene. I would try a version by darkening the cormorants to create more of a silhouette feel to the overall image.

You are really onto something special with this image. Love the environmental feeling, the moodiness and the B&W. The first thing I would suggest is a light crop from the top and to above your name on the bottom to tighten up your comp a little bit. Next, trying Stuart's idea of darkening the cormorants a little might be beneficial but maybe also lightening the sky just a little more in a few places to give it a little more contrast.
This was really well seen and executed. Wish this were mine.

This is an excellent image, Bhavya. It has such a spooky, moody feel to it. There's a lot to see, which I like, and the best part to me is the cormorant with the spread wings at the center. Nice story.
