[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These cormorants were taken at a location on Boundary Bay.
It seems to be the hangout, because most times they are using these piers.
It is hard to get too close, and not really good to disturb them, so this is a distant shot.
Critique the POV and anything else please.
Thanks for the many nice words on my other images.
I only have time for a few comments and will be limited this week, but I still continue to enjoy the galleries here.
Cheers.
Doug

Hallo Doug
Great photo, the kind you want to see in coffee table books. It is like a gathering for a important meeting. It's very nice to see them in different poses than on a tree. A very peaceful view. It must be amazing to see so many cormorants or any other birds in a flock together I like the reflections in the water. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.
Anna

Hi Doug.
I like the pictured scene. It is native for me who live on the seashore. I like wonderful DOF and sharpness of the image, impressive sunlight and natural colours, superb framing of the scene. My compliments and best regards.

Hello Doug

A beautiful capture of this flock of cormorants.
The colours are natural and the shot is well exposed and illuminated.
This looks like a post card.
Wonderful clarity,with sharp details.

Great lines, wonderful scene, perfectly composed, good use of the reflections and lighting. This is different than most of your photos but I really like it.
