White Pelicans

[John Hawkins]

I photographed these in March at 9:30 AM in JN"Ding" Darling NWR on Sanibel Island, FL. f/6.3 1/640 0ev ISO 100 280mm.
Thanks for looking,
John

Nice catching three in the same frame. Wish for a better head angle in the last two and there's something peculiar about the post-processing, you have patches that looked burnt on the whites, but I think it happened after the fact. Legs also look a little too red.

Nice find and they seem to be quite cooperative. Adding to Fabs' comments, you could add a bit room at the left for the birds to 'swim into'. Morning or evening light would have helped with the mentioned overexposure.

Hi John,
at this size looks like there is decent detail in the whites....but legs and water look a bit over saturated. I see the 4th face peeking under the 3rd bill and wish for more sepearation. As is .........Axel's recommendation for more room left is right on.
