Post of a cormorant, a photo from Puntarenas, West

Photographer's Note

I don't have wide landscape views from our crocodile spotting cruise on Rio Tárcoles. I had 70-300mm lens on my camera, and I didn't have time to fiddle with the phone camera, while interesting wildlife popped up all over the place. Here's neotropic cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) keeping watch in the middle of the river.

Hello Kari,
This lucky cormorant will be allowed to keep his catch for himself instead of handing it over to a fisherman. You had a nice photo catch and share it with us.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Kari,

This is a lovely photograph but it is much better viewed at its full size because that way you can see that the cormorant is absolutely pin-sharp and stands out beautifully against the background which is very nicely out of focus.

Lovely soft light, natural colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and clarity.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Kari, Nice view of this cormorant on the old tree, I suppose. Another nice picture from your crocodile spotting excursion. This adventure of yours reminds me of my trips in Northern Australia. Also a lot of crocodiles.
Stay safe
