    But I liked this one and though the eye was worth composing around. Cropped for compo purposes.

    Nice sharp detail. The green eye is really an attraction. I do wish the eye was just a bit higher off the wing to show it more. Just my $0.02 on this great image.

    Love the curves presented here. The eye is the central focus of the image but the curves and feathers make for a real nice composition.

    A beautiful close up and I really like the composition. The emerald eye is great and looks like it was nice light.

    Very nice light and pose here! I always love the "emerald eye" of the cormorant.

    I like the concept Fabs. The slightly soft foreground and background feathers also provide a wonderful contrast to the sharp detail of the head and neck feathers as well. Way to make our local birds look exotic.

    Love it Fabs - the tight composition works well for me, and don't you just love that eye!! Lovely BG further enhances the image. Congrats.
