Lovely morning at La Jolla, Ca. Had to move around to get a clear shot at this fellow. Brown Pelicans were around it.

I really like this portrait, Harry. I think you have just enough head turn to give sufficient eye contact, and the nicely rounded perch and lovely blue BG only add to the image.

Very nice. Good detail and the background really sets this guy off.

All round fine image - I especially like the plumage detail, and those eye-brows.

As nice a cormorant image as I've ever seen. I like the pose and the gorgeous blue bg. Perfect exposure on the blacks. Sharon
