    Javier,

    A beautiful cormorant! Very sharp image, with a nice BG. I love the way the BG complements the bronze/brown colors in the wing feathers. I'd like to see a little more room at the top, but can see that would have degraded your BG, unless you could have composed the shot from a little higher angle.

    Great light and details. Another vote for more space at the top and I would clone out the branch/stick at the left side.

    Hey Javier,
    Sweet angle and feather detail. As I generally prefer tighter crops.........I am OK with the original presentation........but I do understand where the others are coming from.........and it wouldn't hurt the image either way.
    Very nicely composed!

    Superb details, texture and pose. The head turn and eye contact is fantastic. Another vote for just a little more room at the top. Very well done!

    Felices fiestas y buena luz marismeña para todo el año ;-)

    Beautiful pose and light on those outstretched wings! The BG is wonderful, though a little more of it on top would have been nice, but improbable judging from the pic. Very nice indeed.

    Its a Beautiful picture which is very sharp and excellent lighting. I agree with John's comment on increasing the canvas a bit from top.

    Great detail on the feathers Javier! I really like the pose even though they stay like that for hours! :) I have tried to shoot them since we have them by the hundreds here but they are so shy and I have never been able to get close enough with my 300 mm lens! Some day! :) Cheers!
