[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Trying to photograph water birds in spring time. When all the species are busy with building nests or with mating rituals: singing, showing the plumage, or other activities. For the cormorants in the Bourgoyen-Ossemersee is the construction period: some of them are busy with bringing materials for nest. I stayed almost half an hour looking at the continuous moving around the trees in which they are building the nests. Others were trying to keep away all the geese that were trying to protrude in the cormorant territories. It was funny to look.
And between this, I took some pictures, but only some of them are more or less ok. I mean, more or less sharp.
Cropped, sharpened

Hello Oana,
You succeeded very well in taken this cormorant in flight with nesting material. I've tried it also the last days, but they were to far away. Maybe one of the next days.
Excellent photo in great sharpness and beautiful natural colours. Good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Hello Oana !
It is always hard to capture flying birds, but you did a great job here - the Cormorant is frozen in a very nice pose, and the blue sky in the BG makes him stand out very beautifully. Excellent composition, too. Very well done !
Valérie.

Buna Oana,

Ai realizat o fotografie intresanta cu acest cormoran. Chiar daca din punct de vedere tehnic imaginea nu este cea mai buna fotografia este de apreciat. Ai prezentat pasarea in zbor, in timp ce transporta material pentru cuib. Momentul declansarii a fost bine ales, pasarea fiind surprinsa intr-o pozitie in care se pot observa bine atat corpul cat si penajul.

TFS si mult succes la astfel de fotografii,
Cristian

Hi Oana,
A nice capture of this beautiful cormorant in flying action. Excellent timing,sharp details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Oana,
a splendid capture in-flight of a Great Cormorant with the small branch in the beak for the nest, good timing with fine details, beatiful natural colours in a nice composition.
TFS
Best regards
Maurizio

Hi Oana!

Your picture remembers me my last summer or rather late spring holiday on the Island of Krk. I had my new lens 70-200mm with a converter and tried to take pictures of flying gulls. I needed dozens of tries to get one correct picture...

Even if the sharpness in your picture is not perfect, it's ok. But more important is the impact of the picture together with the notes and the fact that the bird carries the material for its nest. Many thanks for this pleasant and interesting post!

Kind regards

Markus

Hello !

Hello Oana,
Not easy to take a picture of a flying bird! Actually I never tried until now. You have caught an interesting moment, where the birds are occupied to carry around material for their nest, which makes the shot even more interesting. And Cormorants are so beautiful birds.
Well composed and a pretty good sharpness.
Best regards
Anne

Oana,
Here too in Calgary it is nesting time; the purple Finches are already nesting in our front yard.
But, where is the Spring??? It continues soooooo cold.
Re: your image.
OUTSTANDING imagery.
Congratulations.
Mario with most friendly regards.

Hello Oana,
A fine in-flight capture of a Cormarant carrying nesting material.
Good shot technically taken from a fine POV that shows the features well from below against a pleasing blue sky. Perhaps a little too close to the top of the image but still a good shot.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hi Oana Otilia.

It is not easy to catch a bird in flight but you have managed the shot pretty well. The framing is very good with the exposure of the plumage rather well seen. Beautiful spreading wings against the spotless sky.

TFS and best regards,
Jusni

nice capture, greetings Ori
