Phalacrocorax atriceps bransfieldensis, formerly Antarctic Shag (= Leucocarbo atriceps)
The Imperial Shag, Phalacrocorax atriceps bransfieldensis, formerly Antarctic Shag, is a cormorant native to many islands of the Southern Hemisphere. It is sometimes separated in the genus Leucocarbo. It is also known as the Blue-eyed Shag and by many other names (11 just for the South American race), and is one of a larger group of cormorants called blue-eyed shags.
This species is found on the coasts of southern Chile and Argentina, on the Antarctic Peninsula, and on many islands in the Southern Hemisphere, including the Falklands, South Georgia, Heard Island and Macquarie Island.

Hello Ferran,
I'm not sure what your intent here was as you haven't mentioned it in your note. Looking at the images in your gallery here I think you are an accomplished and experienced photographer, so I can only assume that the effect here is intentional. If the intent was a high-key image, I think the over-exposure is a little too much, the whites on the birds have lost pretty much all detail. The eyes appear to be coloured as well which leads me to think you had a specific purpose here. I just don't see it.
Kind regards,
Adrian
great pic, great eyes, TFS Ori
