    Default Double Decker!!

    A Cattle Egret stands between me and the Little Cormorant and makes a good optical illusion of standing on it!! Double Decker sounds about right !!

    Supreet, definitely an interesting pair of birds. Tall and short, black and white, looking left and looking right! However, for me, the egret would make a better image without the cormorant. That would allow you to move the egret to the left, out of the center of the composition. I like the foggy look of the OOF background. Nice light, and good detail in the whites. Your cattle egret looks like our great egrets in Florida.

    Quite a contradiction in species there Supreet, quite an interesting composition, and do like the background blur and particularly because the Egrets head stands out well against that blur

    Hi Supreet, Im fine with the two contrasting species, and both well exposed, even though we cant see all of the cormorant. I wish for more of a head turn towards you with the egret, but he is posed nicely against a clean OOF BG. Maybe more space below for the virtual legs of the egret and cormorant.
