Spreading his wings

Comments

The thumbnail is a great deal more accurate a representation than this enlargement!

The enlargement doesn’t distract from the lovely passages in your washes Robert.

Lovely Robert. Although we live over 100 miles from the sea we have a few cormorants on the lakes by us. I think they may have got lost!

And it's the breeding season.....nicely done.

High marks to Sylvia! She recognized the crest, indicating the breeding season.

A very powerful image Robert. I see cormorants all the time, as I live near a harbour and they always look so majestic when they spread their wings.

A striking image Robert, can almost hear the flapping of those wings.

He's gorgeous. As are the sea and sky.

Distinctive bird nicely portrayed. I sketched some last week where I was surprised to see them on the lake at Clumber Park Notts which couldn’t be further from the sea if it tried.
