The image shows a bird with its wings spread wide, splashing water on the surface of a body of water. The bird appears to be a cormorant, with a black body and a yellow beak. Its wings are spread wide and its talons are extended, as if it is about to take flight. The water is calm and still, and the background is blurred, suggesting that the bird is in motion. The image is taken from a low angle, so the bird's body is not visible in the frame.
