    Hi everybody! Today I finally went out to do what I love, it was a nice day out by myself and my camera, I didn't have the chance to get the best morning light nor the sunset light, but despite that I like this one very much! I love how this birds don't look very preety when they actually are truely beautiful!

    C&C are welcome and apreciated!

    Ramon,
    Not sure what the experts will say, but IMHO, this image is first rate! Killer BG, perfect head angle (head angle police, am I right???), and the exposure, sharpness, and composition are spot on! I absolutely love how the wing is spread out to the left in the direction the bird is looking. You are right - these birds don't look very beautiful at first glance, but when you get a closer look, they really are remarkable. Their eyes are absolutely mesmerizing.

    I have been really enjoying your posts - you do amazing work. Keep it coming!

    Very striking image, nicely conceived and executed !
    Techs look great with nice details in the blacks and sharp throughout.
    Background is wonderful.

    For my taste, I might try a few tweaks on the comp.
    I think I'd like to see it with just a tad more room at the top and about a third less room on the right.

    Like Mike said, well conceived image.
    Here is a minor compositional tweak that I think makes this a stronger image.

    Very nice Ramon,
    Balanced in frame, with excellent eye contact. Love the colors. James' repost in adding the canvas on top really does make a difference...:cool:

    I agree with the others but also wanted to say that the color of your BG being so close to the color of the cormorant's eyes really makes this image pop! What a beautiful capture!
