Nice composition . A great feeling of a chilly misty morning in one of India's most famous wetlands . Thanks for sharing .

The out of focus background shows that there is water and the cormorant is sitting on a small strip of land. Habitat has come out well. Shooting from the boat so higher shutter speed becomes a bit important. The early morning mist ensures that the background looks more diffused. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
