Olive eye, a photo from Puntarenas, West

Photographer's Note

A closer view of neotropic cormorant keeping watch on Rio Tárcoles. These birds are found from Southern United States to all over South America. Its diet consists mainly of small fish, but will also eat tadpoles, frogs, and aquatic insects. This cormorant forages for food by diving underwater.

Hello Kari,
An excellent side portrait of this cormorant. You managed to capture it in a wonderful bright sunlight. Perfect sharpness too against a blurry backdrop.

Hello Kari, an excellent shot of the cormorant, we can even see the colour of its' eye.
I like the sharp focusing on the bird with a lovely bokeh.
The light illuminates all its' features so well.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Kari,

This, just like your last photograph, is so much better when viewed at its full size! The details and sharpness are so much more apparent then, especially the fine details of the bird's head, beak and eye which are all stunningly sharp.

Lovely light and colours and a very nicely out of focus background.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Kari
The Cormorant adopted a proud-looking posture, seeking for the latest news in its fishing environment. I appreciate your judicious location of the bird right-on a vertical tiers line for a more stylish layout and of course, the excellent photo quality completes the attraction on this keen fisher showing its best profile! Hei Hei

Hello Kari, Beautiful view of this cormorant. The olive eye is nice, but the feet are here well visible and interesting. Very good close composition.

Hello Kari,

What a fine close-up of the cormorant, set against an excellent bokeh.
It's such a change to see the bird in this attitude, without its wings extended, as drying them out!

The details are crisp and we can almost ascribe character to the bird, from the position of its neck and the look in its eye!

Keep safe,
Bev :-)
