Surprise Reflection
Mid-afternoon sun poked through the cloudy October sky just in time for me to catch this cormorant spotting a potential meal. It had been preening itself for some time. When it stopped I patiently waited for it to turn around. Instead, and to my advantage, it struck this pose in the mid-day sun.

About Artist
Mike McQuade
I’ve had a passion for photography since I was a teen. In my early twenties, I worked for a local photographer as a B&W darkroom tech for a couple of years. After that, I reluctantly decided I needed to get serious about life and put photography on the back burner for several decades. Ten years ago, my wife made the mistake of gifting me a DSLR for my birthday. Now, at seventy years of age, I have the time, despite limited resources, to pursue this long-avoided passion. Living in the northeastern United States, I have the luxury of photographing in four distinct seasons with wildlife, landscapes and seascapes all in close proximity.
