Cormorant spreading wings

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago at the Onkaparinga wetlands here in South Australia. I actually got really muddy, as I was crawling hands and knees so not to scare the Cormorant off by my approach. But it was all in all quite enjoyable and managed a frame filling shot.

Nice shot. Sharp and good exposure.
I would probably do a bit of photoshopping to remove the darker band at the top.

Super shot Potato 1, like above, the bank on the horizon distracts from the subject, a bit of cloning through there would clean it up.
