Cormorant



This cormorant was on its way back to the nesting colony by Levington Lagoon.

With birds in flight, it's really tricky to keep everything in focus and sharp. I could have done with upping the shutter speed a little to freeze the wings, but sometimes a little motion blur actually gives a more life-like impression. At least, that' my excuse ;-) This image got some detail enhancement in Topaz Detail, as Lightroom Clarity seems to actually throw away detail in the wings when turned up high.
