hi lance, love the capture!! i took the liberty of working on your pic. hope you dont mind. only thing i did was go into the face and open up the shadows just a bit and applied a very slight sharpening to the entire bird. hope you like it.
btw, do you guys have an opening at your work? i need a job with you. if that's what you do on your way to work, it must be fantastic:D
btw, i dont know if it's the D3, but working on the small jpeg here was a breeze. very easy. seemed to be a lot of info. or the fact that the bird was properly exposed and it just made it that much easier.
Hi Harold - dont mind at all - always looking for ways to improve - so many thanks.
Its not so much the work, but a small town only 15,000 people and just ride my pushbike to work and live right on the river - its only like 10 minutes to work on the bike - always takes me 2 hours though :) I seem to find plenty of reasons to stop along the way.
Thanks
Lance
Very nice composition and image Lance,
I like Harold's tweaking of the eye and shadow area. Great capture in a beautifull surrounding... Congrats...All the best to you...:D
I think Harold's repost is a significant improvement. Is it possible that the original image is somewhat underexposed because of the dominance of the white areas of the bird?
Terrific composition, sharpness.

Lance very cool Cormy,never seen one like that! Nice BG and pose too. Really like Mr H's fix.
I hope my question is not inappropriate, but what kind of cormorant is that? Is it a first year double crested? Beautiful bird.
I also like the re-post very much !!!
Lance do not hesitate to increase the ISO You will have excellent results at 1600. I go much higher at times !!! For 800 I don't even bother to use NoiseNinja with the D3
...............go that bird on the way to work ............... that will be another twenty lashes !!!:D:D:)
