    Cool feet on this cormorant. Nice light and BG as well. Details look good. I might like a bit more room at top, not sure how it would affect the look though.

    Really like this image, lovely pose with the chest up forward. Lovely light and BG! I would just add a bit more of contrast to the image I think.

    Beautiful colours and details and a good pose too. On reflection think I would add a tad more canvas also.

    Lovely pose and BG, Ben. I am on an uncalibrated monitor but agree image seems to need more contrast and ?setting a black point. Love that red eye.

    Lovely looking image Ben. Great colours and light. The feet look great, never normally see them perched like this. Great work. Well done

    Excellent light, great pose with a perfect view of those large webbed feet. The composition works quite nicely IMO. Not crazy about the perch's end, and I find that the blacks a have a subtle haze to them...therefore I agree with the previous suggestions about the blacks.
