Super shot Yves with great timing. Love the splashdown with the water spraying behind the Cormorant. He stands out beautifully against the water. Nice fun shot Yves.

Thanks Debra. They all need to decelerate when landing but the cormorant really make the show. They do it in style. I love that we well see the palm feet pushing the water in front.

Very nice action shot Yves and well worth the wait. Excellent focus and clarity on the cormorant. He really shines against the beautiful tones of the water and river bank.

Thank you Heather. Every year I can't resist taking some shots at those guys. Specialy in the mating season for the blue color they have at that moment.

Jeff
