I captured this image of a Cormorant at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. The Cormorant was perched on one of the wooden posts along Wading Bird Way trail mentioned in the BAA Middle Florida Photography Site Guide. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Love the blues and the pose. And the lesser coverts. This is a young bird from last year. See how the median coverts are worn -- they are retained from the Juvenal plumage. The neatly patterned lesser coverts and the greater coverts are all new feathers.
All in all, well done.
with love, artie

The diagonal line the bird creates is very nice. I do like the blue water background. Nice and sharp with good detail.
