I love the eyes on these birds, turquoise jewels. This image of a Double-crested Cormorant at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe, I like the pose with the semi twisted neck, and you have nailed the overall exposure so well. Yes, that eye is a jewel. I feel your comp is spot on.

Nice portrait shot Joe, excellent details.

Well done Joe. lovely looking colours. I think, a tighter crop, (if you have detail) showing the head only would be nice, and that eye would be closer :S3:

nice head shot, I like the composition you have chosen too, nice sharp details
