Double-crested cormorants are certainly abundant in southern California, and I usually opt for other subjects unless I notice some interesting behavioral activity or in a good environmental/landscape scene. Cormorants typically perform a full wingspread like this, which can make for good photography in the right light or on the right perch. I thought this bird was interesting enough to make an image of, and I hope you enjoy it! -Mike

Terrific wingspread and love the title Mike.

The light on the wings looks nice, but I think you can get some more detail on the body and head areas using shadow recovery if you want to. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking you left it dark on purpose for the Black Knight effect... if so, well done.

Cool image, I like it.

Neat shot ! Like Kirk , would like to see more detail on the body. However, as he stated you may have done this for artist reasons. Either way it is a neat shot.

Hi Kirk! Well, it really wasn't intentional.. or maybe it was. I did play with the shadows quite a bit, and I didn't like the opened up shadows, to be honest, because there wasn't much to pull back, unfortunately (or fortunately!). I actually did pull shadows quite a bit as it was. I screwed up by not exposing for black in the first place :-/ -Mike

Cool shot. You might try increasing the exposure to bring out the detail in the dark feathers.
