Pelican From Ft. Desoto

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was an image from yesterday. Fort Desoto was wonderful as always and we had many photographic opportunities.

Nikon D300, Nikon 600mm F4, 1/2500, F8, ISO 400

All comments are appreciated. Thanks !

Judy, nice all-over focus and light on the observing side of the pelican. The sharp details on the wing capture are great, good timing. I'm still new to critique so I am not sure if the dark underwing on the right side of the bird and the shaded feet to the rear are negative elements or not, but I would have preferred the light to reach these areas as well.

Hi Judy. Nice sharpness all over and good like the pose of the wings and the BG soot me really good for this shot. The brightness is for me very good to. I'm not the best critiquer but have to learn. but i like this sot a lot :)

HI Judy,

This is wonderful, don't worry about the dark Shadow under the wing as this image looks like ti was captured at first light. I like it as it is!

Great pose and details. It could go a bit brighter for my taste (S/H?) and maybe a bit more space on the right.

I love the light! It's all about the light. No nits from me.

The overall sharpness and detail is superb. I love it!!

Hi Judy:)

I like this shot completely, as is. I love the way you captured the different shades on its head.

This could almost be an beautiful oil painting. So rich.
