I went out to the coast yesterday morning looking to add Brandt's and Pelagic Cormorants to my library. I found this guy perching on a rock at the edge of the bay. Later on I got the Brandt's as well :D
50D, 100-400 at 360mm
1/250 sec, f/9, ISO 640
Pretty much full frame
Brandt's are much easier in San Diego than these little guys. You did your very best with EXP and COMP with a scraggly bird in flat light. Head angle perfect as well and as expected :)
Comp and detail is perfect to my eyes and I like the rather dull light on this subject, well done.:)
Aidan, The pose and the comp are wonderful. Nice job w/ the exposure and details. The light does seem a bit flat as noted but you did great getting the color detail out of the plumage.
Hey Aidan, interesting colours on the plumage, and I like the pose. Good two tone BG, and if this were mine, I would maybe just tone it down a tad.
Very nice, Aidan. Terrific blacks and head turn.
Thanks everyone for the input, it is much appreciated!
Great work Aidan. My question is that had you have had better light would the eye have been that wonderful green color? Thanks mate. . . .
