Double-crested Cormorant drying its feathers. I like the eye color of these birds.

Looks like he was posing nicely for you, Allen. Love those wings spread, and the 3/4 view of him, with head turned slightly. I also love the eyes on these birds. Very nice.

Love that bright green evil eye Allen. This has a lot of nice elements to it. Nice perch, good detail and pose, and very nice BG.

Hi Allen
You did a great job with the detail in the wings.

A really nice look at this double crested Cormorant. You are able to get close enough to really do a good job on the detail. These birds are difficult to bring out detail because of the black plumage. I like the pose and the wing position.

A very nice pose and head turn, Allen with a nicely aged post for a perch. The blue eye really pops.
