    Hi Guys,

    Have had no tima at all to go out and shoot due to work obligations so yesterday i just went out for 20 minutes as i went crazy from sitting behind my computer. Had the opportunity to create some portraits of this Great Cormorant in a bit of a "Forns: style....
    Not that i would pretend to even get close to Alfred & Fabiola's qualities, but i liked the way he yawned at me and it reminded me of a great yawning Anghina Alfred recently posted.

    Greetings,

    Jeroen Stel

    Great portrait! I like the details, colors, BG and the open bill adds to it. Maybe a bit more space?

    Insanely beautiful breeding plumage. Very sharp. Very contrasty. Needs a bit more head turn. Is that the tongue???

    Later and love, artie

    Why in the Netherlands of course ;) Actually, I was thinking Anhinga. Call it a brain fart. I'm home sick today with a stomach bug so I'm not thinking well.
