Jagdeep. I am really enjoying this image. Typical pose for a Cormmorant, but the side/back lighting is showing shining through his wings, and they look orange color in places, which brings out the orange around the face. He is on a nice perch to make the image even better. He looks like he is telling you a big fishing tale! Great shot. Only nit I have is that it isn’t my shot!
Really nice job with the backlighting on the wings. This is very difficult to do and the warm colors in the image are excellent. What I don’t know, is there is a slight blue cast on some of the plumage especially on the body. This may be normal for your area. I have many double-breasted cormorants near my home and I have not seen the blue cast. It really doesn’t distract from the image quality and the composition.
A great capture, Jagdeep. A characteristic pose and the lighting is beautiful. Great colors, and the background gives away a hint of the bird’s habitat.
