Cormorant Glimpse
A double-crested cormorant from Anhinga Trail. I am unsure about the crop and so I have also attached the full sized image just in case anyone would like to give their cropping suggestions. Thanks for taking a look. :)

Full-sized version.
I like the colors, detail, sharpness of you image...your crop with the eye looking directly at the viewer makes it for me..thanks for sharing
Great one, excellent plumage detail, dominant color with the eye standing out really nicely.
If you ask for an alternative crop I might go with a tighter one. I think the frame should be full
of the plumage, with no empty space, and the eye standing out.
Nice capture.
Beautiful, Amy. I tried a more intimate crop, just an idea.
Wow, Ilia and I posted at the same time with the same idea, cool!
Thanks Fabs and llija. I was actually thinking about cropping out that extra space but was afraid that much of a crop would cause loss of detail. So that crop is considered within a good limit? Thanks.
Great minds think alike :):):)Originally Posted by Fabs Forns
Is synchronicity the word?
I believe it is :)
I like this image. You must have been very close. The green eye surrounded by brown plumage is very effective. I like the tighter crops suggested above.

Ilja and Fabs have articulated and illustrated my feelings already. Maybe a touch more constrast?

I agree with what is said above by everyone else re cropping...lovely colours and details.
Cheers!

Fabs nailed the comp here for me. This image is stunning, lovely eye contact and detail on the feathers.
Out of the top drawer! Well done.
Stunning, Amy. The detail in the feathers and the comp make this one a winner.
great crop this, loved the eye thats make this work so well...
Thank you kindly, everyone. I am learning so much! :)
Unusual but great . I like the first crop, just the right amount of "intimacy"
