My patience finally prevailed after 10 minutes of being setup, and waiting for this guy to takeoff from a bouy. I think it was worth the wait.
Cropping? Anything else?

Hi Dave, nice catch. I like the splashing water included behind the bird, the extended wing, and the reflection. The water with nice color and just a touch of ripple is good too. I could see adding a tad more space below and taking a tad off on top. The stretched out pose is nice even though the angle is slightly away from us. Good catch.
I think I was first attracted by the color of the water. Good take off pose and the water action behind the cormorant is great. Worth the wait; nice job.
Nice action shot Dave. Definitely worth the wait. I really like the splash zone behind the cormorant, and the stretched out wings in front. The water is also really nice as Allen Brooks has pointed out.
