Cormorants
Taken from a small boat into the light - unfortunately 720 pixels is not enough to bring out the best in this image.

Canon 1D MkIII + 300 f2.8 IS iso 640 1/2500 at f5.0

The compression does no favours here... I bet this is a fantastic image and I would love to see the original....

I have witnessed a large number of cormorants on my monitoring trips on the Thames, but nothing as spectacular as this.

It's astonishing enough at low res David - what a stunner of an image the full res version must be :toast: :toast: :toast:

I don't think I've ever seen so many as this - WOW:toast:

I feel the trees certainly put the numbers into perspective.
It's a cracker David.

How big have you had this printed?

As good a shot as I've seen on here for months, and well planned too.
