Project Creativity - Neotropical Cormorant

[Stephen Stephen]

Created in December, 2008 while staying near Varadero, Cuba. Slight crop from left and top sides.

I realise that the eye is centered but I think that the bird's body position leads viewer's eye to circel the body and arrive at the eye.

Composition and light look good, if the eye were a bit opened it would be easier to draw the viewer's attention.

I never worry about the eye being centered if it means having more room in front of the head than behind it. Nice peaceful sleeping pose, Stephen.

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice pose and colors, Stephen, eye fell where it needs to fall. Beautiful colors and thanks for being part of the project.

Thank you Axel, Dan and Fabs. Axel I think that I may have another image that has the eye at least partially open. I'll remember that suggestion for next time.
