> > jIMMY Harris - The Cormorant Club The cormorants THEMSELVES are like jpeg artifacts -- I've captured them repeatedly on film and have had headaches. There's something to do with their hooked tip of the beak -- it's like a blurry pixel and the pretty face is consequently messed up. And for casual shooting they are constantly too distant. You have to sit in a hide. BTW -- I have used the opposite way with a cormorant shot on a leaflet. I blurred them, then added grain and contrast and the result was a good background to some short text. Peeter
