but this was taken at the otter location on one of my last visits. It caught me by surprise hence the fact that it is tight on the bottom of the frame. Cropped to improve composition.

It looks a tad fed up, too many fish or not enough, I ask my self.

An unusual comp, I like it.

Definately a difficult cropper

Could add some bottom canvas but difficult.Good shot and usuasual but I do think the tightness spoils it. Others will like it. JMPO

Lovely shot, but I also think it is a bit tight in the frame.

I quite like the composition as it is and would even suggest cropping it a tad more so it looks like the bird is coming into the frame.

greetings,

Nice image of this Cormorant but, as mentioned, a bit tight.

Just a leeetle more on the bottom would have been nice Robert. However still a great image and the head detail is superb. First close up of a cormorant I think I have seen.

Quite understand why it is tight at the bottom.... they should let you know they are about to arrive

Nice detailed image....

Wont be many fish for the Otters if they move in.

Slight nit covered Robert, but these birds make great subjects, especially when they're on the hunt for fish.
