The Solo Swimmer

The Solo Swimmer 1

I can upon this solo swimmer, a young cormorant I believe, on a dull Ganges day. He (She?) was quite wary. We played ‘Guess where I’m going to surface’ for two minutes before I was alone.

    I’ve played that game with a few cormorants myself, though not with a young one. I must look more carefully to spot any. I like how you have this one going back and forth in each picture.

    Wonderful captures, the reflections make the photos more interesting.

      Just an observer on this one; the bird was doing all the work. The only thought I remember having at the time was to try to simplify each image as much as possible.
