Welcome to NPN Oscar, this is a neat first post, those colors really pop. I would guess this is probably cropped quite a bit? If not it would be cool to see it larger at the 720 pixel maximum limit. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks Nate. Really appreciate your comments.
I did have to crop quite a bit to just get the eye; however, the bird was quite close
and personal so I'm glad it came out OK. The Anhingas and Cormorants at
the Anhinga Trail are not afraid of folks so they stick around and let you take
their pics.

cool first post, Oscar--welcome to NPN. I love cormorant eyes--such beautiful color. I agree with Nate that if it will hold up, it would be ideal (and easier to critique) if it were shown larger.

Welcome, Oscar. The eye sure is very colorful. Seems like it could be a little bit sharper.

Wow Oscar. Great first post that eye really popped out at me and I just had to open it up. Welcome to NPN!
