Mital, Really nice to see the feet. Nice pose, maybe a bit tight on top. I like the open mouth.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Very pleasing image in nice lighting and good pose. I agree a tad more room at the top would strengthen this image. Love the BG in this image. Many thanks for sharing Mital.

[Morkel Erasmus]

great pose, perch and exposure Mital...BG colours compliment the bird well...

[Ben Egbert]

I love this shot. I never get the exposure right or more likely the correct lighting for these guys. You nailed it.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

beautiful pose,details,composition!

[Joe Senzatimore]

My vote for a little more top as well. Still a real fine image. Love that you can see the feet.

[Suzanne Huot]

Amazing how those feet grip the perch so well .Beautiful detailed image of this often hard to expose bird

Mital:

Beautifully posed here, open mouth, nice BG, feet are great.

I think you could increase the exposure by at least 1/3 of a stop, perhaps 1/2 and still keep the whites OK, and show even more detail in the blacks. Just an option.

Put me in the more room on top camp.

Cheers

Randy

Good exposure on the cormorant, sharp, and I like the open beak. He pops nicely from the BG. Well captured.

[John Ippolito]

Excellent exposure, pose, and I love the feet! More room on top as mentioned would make it even stronger.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Mital...agree with Randy on need of a little increase in exposure and more room at the top. I liked the angle a lot as it shows the webbed feet nicely.
