I think I got a pretty decent bino shot of a double-crested cormorant. Today in northeast Ohio.

The whole thing has something of a khaki tinge - was it just one of those days, or something that a bit of software magic might improve?
Not OP, but all I do is digiscope and, yes, all OP needs to do is edit the pic on their phone, hit the button that "auto-adjusts" the colors, etc. And it usually looks way better. Here's an example, I took through a scope, afterwards I used more advanced software magic:
I tried that out and posted the picture in another comment in this thread (https://lemmy.world/comment/10346090). I think it's better but I have some more to learn. Your photo is brilliant!
