Great pose on this very commonly photographed bird. I always feel that with birds like Herons and Cormorants and ... you have to get something a little out of the norm for it to work and you got it here. FYI - I have the same camera and lens and my experience is that the IQ improves at f6.3 over f5.6 when shooting @ 500mm.

Thank you for the advice John, I'll try that next time.

Classic cormorant pose. I like the detail you have on the feathers and the submerged perch looks cool. I would try some more contrast.

Nice one
