The soft layers of backlighting offset the cormorant perfectly here. The feather detail is very nice and the mood is perfect.

I made a special trip over to the dock in hopes that I could get an evening shot. Thanks for your feedback Heather.

Yves Langlois

Beautyful backlight shot Debra. The golden colour of the water is just amazing to make the bird a star. Appreciate also the gentle touch of golden sun on the long feathers wings tip.

Thanks Yves, I was glad to see the cormorant hop back up on the dock for an evening shoot.

I love how the bird is in sharp focus with the background blurred. Lovely.
