“Direct Eye Contact with a Cormorant”. There are three cormorants that regularly fish by my house. Over time, by approaching them slowly, they trust my very close presence. Their eyes are so mesmerizing that I shot this with a very narrow DOF to bring the viewers eyes directly to that of the cormorant's. I entered this in spontaneous moments in that as I was shooting the bird, he suddenly turned towards me directly looking at me adding to the impact of the shot. Photo location: Seminole, Florida, USA. (Photo and caption by Sandy Scott/National Geographic Photo Contest)
