I am always bemused when I see nice images from Circle B ranch. I have been there 3-4 times and never gotten anything!The birding gods there do not like me!!
Very nice incoming flight path. Tack sharp with a great symmetrical wing spread.The flared primaries and the perfect separation of the feet and splayed tail make the shot.
The only slight negative is the rather bright light creating that long shadow on the body. But, I do like the shadow of the bill on the tail!
If mine, I would clone out the 2 yellow grasses on the right of the frame.
Well done,
Gail
I like the incoming landing pose showing off all the feathers. The light blue background and water droplets add but I am finding the vegetation / water line distracting in that it appears out of level. I realize that if you level the water line the Cormorant will be out of level so maybe some where in between.
