A real cutie, love the pose, good eye contact, white is a little washed out for my eye.
Thanks for your comment Lowell. Here's a version with white point in levels pushed right out. Nothing over 228 now.
Beautiful bird captured very well. Love the comp. and the perch. Never saw one , so thanks for showing it.
Love the pose and BG Simon. Well done. I wonder if you took out the continuation of that branch above the cormorant whether that would make us feel like it is missing? I like it! :)
Love the repost. Funny tail balancing pose :)

Repost is much better IMO.
Excellent feather detail, and the whites in the original look fine to me on my screen. Comp looks great too. Super image Simon.
