Motif: Pelagic Cormorant
At least I'm pretty sure this is a Pelagic based on it's long slender neck and dark bill. I found him in Morro Bay surveying the morning while taking a break from his breakfast fishing chores. C&C welcome and appreciated and thank you for looking:)

Looks like a Pelagic. The image is well done. I would crop the rock totally out on the bottom.

Cool bird Katie. I agree, take the rock out and get this bird glasses. He's so cross eyed!! I love it!!!!! Congrats.....
Cool katie - agree with getting rid of the foreground distraction.
Hi Katie,
Very well done...I agree on cloning out the rock at the bottom...good show...:cool:
LOL !! The bird does look funny :)Originally Posted by Richard Waas
Hi Katie These a tough to make int high key !! Exposure needs to be on the money 100% Not sure but this might have been just a tad under? The feathers look a little funky.
Also for the dark birds it sure helps some flash fill Does give the feathers a different look and feel !! Love that head and agree with the crop !!! Excellent !!!
Hi Katie,
Great bird and I love the high key treatment.
Another vote for losing the rock!
Regards,
Nicki
