This is the first time I've had a Cormorant close enough to get a really good shot of it. If you look close you can actually see beads of water on its feathers. I thought the original background was distracting because of the focus on it, so I replaced it with the same view of the ocean but without a Cormorant in it to give the same look. This was a handheld shot taken in September of this year. I hope you enjoy! Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by and reviewing! :o) Helvi
