Nice images of the cormorants, Peter. I particularly like the second with the wings completely spread.

3

Nice habitat shot of the cormorants, Peter. I’d go with the first one as more of the face is shown and I like the somewhat darker background colors.

I quite enjoy the repetition of the Cormorants heads in the first one and the repetition of behavior. Nice shots!

6

I like both of them, Peter. I like the colors and textures in the grasses, they do set subjects off. Nicely seen.

7

Hi Peter, nice catch of the sunning behavior. I like the first best for the head angles. Interesting environment too.
