Cormorant, Kerala Backwaters, India, 2008

We saw thousands of Cormorants on these waters. This one is drying its wings. The abstracting power of the reflection here is as important as the bird on the stick. It makes the image shimmer in green and copper, leaving the cormorant alone with nature.

Good word, Dandan. The shimmering wet feathers of the cormorant seem to harmonize with the rippling texture of the water.
