Morning Exercises

I paddled right up to this cormorant at sunrise, on Florida Bay, Key Largo, Florida.

 

Debated whether to darken the cormorant-- add contrast, so that he was more of a silhouette- or allow the orange on his bill and the bit of feather detail to show through. I opted for letting that spot of orange to show thing- because you think it's a silhouette but then it's 'not. Still not sure though.

 

I welcome all critiques, I'm not thin-skinned. I prefer critical comments to pats on the back.
