Common Cormorant

[Rene' Villela]

Good evening! I'm just trying something new for me here! This is a shot I took sometime ago and my first impulse was to trash it but somehow I kept it. Now I've seen you guys taking beautiful silhouettes against the sunset or dawn so I thought it MIGHT work. I really like the how clear the shape of the bird is, meaning you would know it a cormorant, and also the wing position.

Just an overcast day and I played with the back ground using color control point on NX2.

So!? Was it worse doing it? Thank you for your comments! Cheers!

Nikon D80 - (Old) AF 300 f/4, AP wide open, 1/3200 sec, ISO 100.

Very simple and attractive image. Not sure about the hint of far wing that we can see.

Glad you didn't trash this image! I love the silhouette. Until I read Doug's comment, I wouldn't have thought of the far wing. You could perhaps clone it totally out and no one would even know. :)

Very nice silhouette and BG color. I only wish the far wing were down, too.

Uhmm! I see what you guys mean! Uhmm! I am not sure if I'll be able to clone that! I'll try! Thanks for your advices! Cheers!
