    Pied Cormorant - juv. on the left being fed by the parent. This is a pretty brutal encounter - the baby pushes its head deep into the parent's throat...:eek:

    Taken this morning in Sydney.

    Amazing capture, Ofer. Great that you got both eyes in close proximity. Detail and exposure look good to me. The splash adds to the sense of action.

    I agree excellent timing on the action.

    I also like the bit extra space on bottom. Lovely shooting angle.

    Hi Ofer. Yes, those fledgling cormorants are obnoxiously insistent when it come to feeding time!! Great action captured with good head angles, sharpness, and exposure. Well done.

    Pretty cool action, and I love the two eyes close together as a colour comparision between adult and young one. Great low angle and vibrant colours. Seeing that the top grey band is so thin and barely creeping into the frame I would simply get rid of it...

    Yep, typical feeding behaviour from these guys, and yes, it does look quite dramatic at times. Love the vibrant colours and low perspective.

    This is an amazing capture. Great to see both eyes, the water drops and the angle is awesome. Would remove brown line on top bc it detracts slightly from your main focus.
