The eye of the cormorant

Another of the 10 or so cormorants that were at Constitution Gardens that day. In almost all the pictures we took, it was impossible to see their blue eyes, but I think Tim nailed it in this one.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Very very beautiful. I never noticed their eyes before. I like the sharp detail on the bird and subtle detail in the water. V
