More water birds. The cormorant on the left had just been making the most of the limited sunshine, stretching his wings out., then the one on the left decided to sidle over... I like the smug expression on the right-hand bird's face :) Plus the textures in the water, and the shapes of the branches.
Lovely shot. I've been trying to get a photo of some cormorants near me for some time, but they love to bask just that bit too far for my lens. In the water it's hard to see them against the waves, excuses excuses! ;-) your shot however is great love it in B&W
The rippling water makes a great backdrop for this photo. Good timing on the capture, with the birds not overlapping so each of their features are viewable. Viewed large, you can really see that "smug" look in the one's eye!!
