Hey Jane! (smile)Here's my run down on what I like to think of as, your "Earth Week"(Apr 17 - 24) image.
Composition: I like the way you used the water to fill the background which to my eye effectively becomes a canvas for the cormorant and the rest of the elements in the image.
COLOR: I like the warm tones which enhance the naturalness.
DETAIL: love the sharp, clear detail of all the elements in the scene.
FINALLY: I LOVE THE WING SPREAD OF THAT CORMORANT!! A Beautiful image.

Thank you, Daniel & Leanne!
