I captured this image of a male Cormorant at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The bird was perched on one of the posts along Wading Bird Way trail described in the Circle B Bar Reserve part of a guide to bird photography in central Florida that Arite and I are writing. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

That OOF water makes a perfect BG for another gorgeous "Joe" classic. Great details in the blacks and good view of that emerald eye. TFS

Very detailed grooming capture, Joe. The shade of blue background is perfect for this beauty.
