I'm a Newbie and have just seen this section - maybe I should post here rather than in the Avian Section

Hi Bill,
Nice sharp image of this juvi cormorant, a little low in the frame and a few hot spots on the perch. Looks like you were dealing with some harsh light.
Unfortunately the specular highlight you mentioned is a distraction, some people like them some don't.

Looking forward to seeing more.
