A Great Cormorant in transitional plumage: A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) finds a perfect, skeletal perch just above the water's surface. In the soft, warm light of the late afternoon, the bird’s breeding plumage—marked by the distinct white feathers around the head and neck—stands out against the deep, dark tones of its wings. I love the quiet symmetry created by its reflection in the mirror-like water, which bridges the gap between the organic, tangled lines of the submerged branches and the soft, high-key wash of the background reeds. It’s a study in stillness and patience, capturing that brief moment of rest before the evening hunt begins.
This 365 project is about slowing down and paying attention.
Training my eye to see both the obvious and the overlooked.
Finding photographs in everyday moments, not just destinations.
