    Paola:

    NIce landing pose with wing spread, feet flared, good separation of head from wings.

    The image looks very flat to me, and I think you can adjust the black point to really add some pop without blocking them.

    In a perfect world, I would prefer the duck to not be there.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Sharp on the cormorant with a great landing pose. Does look flat and the black feathers are quite noisy. Did you have any more room above?

    Paolo, The image in Pane #5 looks great, especially without the duck :) And the boost in contrast helped too.
