Hi Claudia, very nice capture and good control on the white plumage showing nice details. With a little PP work you could easily brighten up the BG and black plumage without harming the whites. Composition would be better IMO if less centered which is usually the case. Very nice work, well done.

Wonderful POV of this Australian pelican. Our white pelicans do not have the black on the wings. Great details and good light. Well done, Claudia, and TFS. : )

Hello Claudia,
A really nice post. I always feel that my pictures of Pelicans seem to be too soft around their eyes. Although your post is much better, than any of mine - I feel the same here. I'd better visit a doc?! Thomas

Hello Claudia,

What a great pelican you got there! Its pose is magnific and I like very much your pov and composition. You managed the exposition very well in order to see the different tones of white correctly! Colors looks very natural too! I did a little workshop on your so nice picture in order to add some sharpness. Here in Quebec, we don't have pelicans. In fact, usually we don't have but this summer one Brown Pelican was seen along the St-Lawrence River and all the local ornithologist are running to see it :-). Great work and TFS,

Michel
