Very nice set. The underwater shot is totally cool.

Looks like you had some difficult light there, Mike, but you handled it very well. My favourite is the underwater shot. Like Trevor says: that is totally cool. It really is. Plus it's a great shot. Not that the other shots aren't good, it's just that this one stands out in the set.

Thank you very much everyone, I'm glad you like them! It was just a case of good luck catching the light just right to be able to see the cormorant under the water. These were taken in Lake Michigan, and fortunately the water wasn't too churned up that day, if we get a few rough water days, the water in that spot turns to a color that resembles coffee with cream, and just as transparent too:-)

Somehow I missed these. All are nice, but the underwater shots are special.
