This B&W image was taken recently on the north bank of the Western Scheldt river, Zeeland, The Netherlands (where it flows into the North Sea).

It's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge (BWC).

The three of them perfectly placed in the frame Cornelius. They certainly appear to be on guard and protecting thir patch.
Addded to the BWC list for Wednesday, thankyou :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

We even have cormorants here. They must be a very adaptive bird. Excellent detail here, but I would have opted for a color version although it's a just a personal preference and no reflection on your wonderful image.

Very nice composition and b&w photo. This birds dark bodies are hard to take shots to show details in them. Your work is great to show gray scale in their bodies. Good luck in the contest.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
