    Hi Ric a fantastic shot we have Cormorants on our coastline. What lens did you use to capture this? Also settings as I would love to achieve something similar.
    Regards

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice capture Ric and good timing on this shot, and the reflection adds a nice touch as well.
