Beautiful portrait of this bird, Jagdeep. I particularly like the eye. As for quality, it’s pretty difficult to tell what’s due to the wetness of the bird and what might be due to loss of quality as both can have similar effects. The orange parts on the cheeks do seem to show a slight loss of quality and the details in the eye tend to merge together a bit, but at any respectful viewing distance, that would not be at all apparent.
The subject, pose and setting are wonderful, with great light and colors! I don’t see any degradation of IQ. I can sometimes get away with a crop to 10% of the original frame area.
That eye is riveting! Such interesting colors, too. I’ve never seen the upper neck feathers like that before either - reminds me of a mane. Nice water drops. I think for web presentation, the IQ is just fine.
Wow! Great portrait of the Cormorant with the jade coloured eyes. The bird has some wonderful feathering. Gorgeous ripples surrounding the bird are the icing on the cake.
IQ looks fine to me. I could see another version of this image with just a bit more room all round?
