Absolutely stunning work Mitesh !!! I love them all, but no 2 is by far my favorite. Excellent work on all of these.

This is a truly superb set Mitesh. Nothing wrong with photographing cormies, it's all about the presentation and art of the shot. Well unless you only trying to prove to others you saw some such bird I have tens of thousands of cormie shots so when I say these are marvelous I may know what I'm talking about. Excellent work, no need for me to go through them one by one, they all rock!!!

Great set! The colors in # 2 are nice


Thanks, Kyle! The colors really pop in the sunlight at this location, but unfortunately there was little sun that particular day .

Great set Mitesh. I agree that #2 is a standout with that cool tree. I also really like #6 with the darkness. Really good panning work in #7. All of these are top notch.

Thanks for your thoughts, Geoff. I usually have one composition in every set that I consider an experiment, or that I'm not too sure about. In this one, it was #6. Glad you think it worked, because it was really the only comp that allowed me to use the shot!

Ohhhhhhh my Mitesh this is such a powerful post of use of light, color and comp. Hmmm, sure has the makings of a Feature of the Week post to me

The opener really caught me, I battled just a bit with myself on the comp but I satisfied the 'want' when I got to #11
#2 could be my favorite, oh so beautiful and a great image showing it isn't only about the details of the subject it is about the whole feel and the artistic interpretation which you nailed.........Wall Art for sure

You have some

Karl,

Where to begin? I really appreciate the time you took to comment on so many individual images. Really is helpful to understand how a viewer is seeing the images. No doubt about the blown highlights in #13- I clipped them pretty badly !

Absolutely stunning Mitesh. Congraulations and I hope this wins thread of the week


Thanks for the compliment, Stu! Wish you'd post some of the stag action from Richmond park! Don't tell me that 1DX and 500 II are collecting dust !

I'm not a big cormorant fan, but you have some excellent images here, esp. #6 which could be printed and look very effective.
Thanks,

2, 9, 6 for me.

very nice images. The only thing I could think of is possibly tone down some of blue or purple channel in a couple of photos, only cause you asked.

while I love the up close shots with very blurry background, I feel we see a lot of that here(don't let that distract from how great those photos are tho) but that's why I think most people pick images like 2 and 6, because while the up-close details of subject are great and all, when possible to incorporate the natural surrounds that are just as beautiful, it makes for an outstanding photo that is different.

, if I was a world traveler like you visiting the Pantanal, Africa, India, etc., I wouldn't be a big cormorant fan either, Don! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Matthew! I agree with what you've said. Incorporating the surrounding environment can really put an image over the top.

Thanks a lot, Eric! While not as photogenic or impressive as the eagles you saw in BC, photographing these cormies was still fun!
