Nice pose. The wings spread in the classic drying / warming pose. The exposure is very difficult on this image. On my calibrated system, I do not see any details in the blacks on the lower breast and tail. Fill Flash would have helped here to deal with a very contrasty situation.

A good effort in impossible lighting conditions. Short of fill flash and a Better Beamer or the equivalent, I don't know what you could have done. An all-black bird on a bright sky is pretty tough.

Dynamic pose and clean view. Challenging light. Looks like our Common Cormorant.
