Hello Brenda, yep..your zoom lens is working fine!!
Great close-up and very unusual, yet eye catching composition. Love the bright blue eye and all the wonderful detail you managed to capture. I also like the way the sun is glistening off of it's feathers. Great work!!

This surely ranks as a very unconventional but highly appealing portraiture of a Cormorant, Brenda. That one can use a zoom lens in such an innovative way is a revelation for me.
The picture showcases, extremely successfully, the most significant aspects of bird portraiture -- the head and the eye. The close-up of plumage reaches yet another great; I have never seen such vivid details on the plumage of a bird ever before here on TN.
Congratulations on your creativity and thanks for sharing this gem!

nice crop an interesting composition, wish you all the best with your new toy. A sturdy base like a tripod will always improve sharpness with a tele, so if you have the chance to support the camera, use it :) Saying that, this one has perfect focus on the eye

Hi Brenda
Cormorants are beautiful birds, you just need a closer look at the eye and the metallic feathers, both very well shown here.
The only improvement in this picture could be the bg which is a bit heterogenous, but hey difficult to choose...

Brenda,
I know how hard it is to photograph a cormorant up close. At least here in Alabama, they are very cautious of humans and keep their distance. This is a very good picture. I like the color and details. You have a very good les. Gary

Hello Brenda,

You're capturing well this Cormorant by a good Macro, a good focus and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the lovely posture of this Cormorant. It's also great for the sharpness of the wing, and it's good at color contrast.

Kind regards,
