Mr. Peters,
I like the close up pose. you have sharp details...a good head angle, and good eye contact...love the dark green hues of the background, it compliments your bird well. might want to tone down the small hot spot on the lower portion of the neck...good show...:):cool:

Very interesting looking bird Lance. Really like the detail and colours in the bill. Necely done. Dave

Lance, This is really good, agree w/ Gus on hot spot-but have to say it's my fav. cormorant shot posted to date!

[Amy DeStefanis]

Wow - what beautiful details you got! On my monitor, the hot spot everyone's referring to doesn't look all that distracting. I can still see details in there. The sharpness is just wonderful! This is one of my favorites, too.

Exposure and sharpness look great to me Lance. Whites could use a bit of a linear burn to bring out more detail??? Lovely BG and pose.

Great looking bird and sure got a fine image !!! Spot on !!

The area by the neck would like seeing some detail but don't feel over at all. Would enhance an already great looking image. Big Congrats !!!
