Brown Pelican

[Moe Richard]

From a jetty on the PNW Coast. Sunny, windy, and mid morning.
I don't really care for boring sky backgrounds, but no choice here.
My posted image here looks a little flat compared to viewing the jpeg on my computer. How do I
attach the jpeg? Everything is set as sRGB...

The bird is nice and sharp. Like the dark cloud background. You attach the jpeg under manage attachments.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of blue sky backgrounds, but sometimes you gotta go with it. Bigger issue here is the overhead shooting angle and shadows on the underwings and body.
More of a banking pose would let us see more of the far wing and even out the lighting.
