Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

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

That's good for what I assume is one binocular eyepiece held over a mobile phone's camera lens.

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!

Thanks, there are some neat advances in technology to help with enhancing cellphone photos, yes, some of them involve AI to help upscale the resolution and refine the details. If you're on Instagram you can check out my content on 'theCronicBirder'

Thanks, that's exactly how I took the photo. It was approaching sunset so I think the colors are a little yellow because of that and just how brown the river is. I adjusted the colors like the other comment suggested and I think it looks better:
