Hey Dan, Was it landing or crash landing? Looks sharp on the eye to me. I like the far wing position better than the near-wing position. And one perch would have been enough for me.

Thanks Arthur, It was a crash land.. Cormorants are just clunky....
I removed 2 other perches sort of sloppily...
It is pretty sharp, I guess my poor sharpening technique worked on this one...
Focus and splash look great! My biggest issue is the strongly banded water behind as the pattern kinda overpowers the subject. That could have been partially combatted with a lower shooting angle.
