White-Breasted Cormorant

[Stu Bowie]

This was taken in Cape Town very late afternoon ( 6.56pm ) as the sun only sets around 8'o clock in December. I liked the determined expression on the cormorants face as he flew past me.

Stuart:

I like the full downstroke, flared primaries,intricate detail on wings,water.

Bit tight for such a high action frame!

Cheers

Hi Stuart,
I like the full down wing position and the colors in the water. I like the composition as well. The partially open beak is nice as well. Good details in the wings,

Lovely light and not a easy bird to get a nice flight image of. Good colors, few hot spots on the neck but not a major...Nice one mate!

[Colin Knight]

Like how you got so much detail in those black wings. A bit more NR required though? Nice reflections in the water.

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you all for the feedback and comments.

Like the whole presentation, Stuart !! In particular the wing position and angle of taking.
