    Frank, I like how the green water matches his eye. Nicely seen and composed.

    Our equipment sometimes struggle to display wet feathers nicely but in this case everything worked together for a beautiful image. Nice clarity and BG - and I can never get enough of these birds' beautiful eyes!

    I like the water colors here and the way they compliment the colors of the bird,

    Wow, the thumbnail does no justice to this frame! Gorgeous intimate frame of this cormorant sir. Any lower and you would be submerged...or maybe you were :) Technically spot on, and I really enjoy the corresponding colors between the water and the subject.
