Reed Cormorant

[Stu Bowie]

Here is another image taken last weekend when I popped into the hide at the Pilanesberg National Park. The light was soft with high clouds. The distant BG is a mixture of low grasses and water. Maybe the HA police can give me a warning.

Hi Stuart,
For me, this is an excellent example of a photo that looks almost illustrative. It gives it a more artistic, less technically sterile edge that I find very pleasing to the eye. I also think it's one of your best. Well done photographing and processing.
