In this intimate portrait, the cormorant curves its neck around its body as the bill disappears into the plumage, leaving the luminous green eye as the dominant point of the composition.
The close perspective reveals details rarely noticed from a distance: thousands of fine feather lines, subtle brown and bronze tones, yellow facial skin and, at the centre, an extraordinary emerald eye.
Rather than relying on action or habitat, the photograph is built around detail, gaze and form. The bird becomes almost abstract, with the sweeping curve of its neck guiding the viewer directly toward the eye.
