Nice one Maggie.
Was this a full frame - sorry can't have been !
A little more surround would be nice. Good one though.
You shouldn't be allowed to use a D300 cos I haven't got one !

Nice shot of a classic Cormorant pose Maggie but I'd agree with John and Julian - a little more room in the frame would be nice :smile:

Hey Maggie

Good image and a nice pose and sharpness. I'd agree with the others but lets face it, too big in the frame is the easiest one to solve :toast:

Cheers

Lovely image, but a little more room would indeed be nicer. :smile:

Hi Maggie, 'nits' covered, however I think there is also some more detail under the wing you could bring out. Would have also liked to see the head turned more to the viewer too. Still a nice shot and the detail is there considering the light. :wavey:

Nits all covered many times already Maggie - I'd be curious to see the full frame and then a re-crop :wink:

Now you've done Cormorant I suppose the next thing you fancy is a Sha* :biggrin: :jump: :jump: :biggrin: :wink: :wavey:

Ignore Andy he's just crude, unlike me :biggrin:
Agree with the space , perhaps more at the top.Certainly one of your best recent images by a long way . :wavey:

Some nice detail there. Looks like the light was harsh so well taken. Just needs the room that has been mentioned.

Very nice Maggie nits all covered. Lets hope we soon return to these conditions weather wise.

a bit more of a head turn would have been nice, but a good pose otherwise. Well captured Maggie.

Nice shot Maggie, cracking pose, and the detail on the feathers is great. He certainly stands out beautifully against the background. :toast: :toast:

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm afraid there was no more room in the image. Glad some of you like it as it is.

Mark I will try and ignore Andy but as you well know he is very hard to ignore
