Hello and welcome to BPN.

You have a very nice capture here. Love the wings and light. The composition works great also but maybe a little more room to the left.

Keep them coming!

Big welcome Svetoslav. It is great to have you here and congratulations on a beautiful first post. Awesome action you captured in this image with excellent exposure. The water action is a real bonus. I do agree about just a tad more room to the left but still a great image as posted. Look forward to seeing more of your images in the future.

[Svetoslav Spasov]

Dear Judy and Maxis, thanks for your comments. I agree, it would be better with some more room around the bird, but that's the whole image without crop.

Excellent pose and details, love this image of a great looking pelican:)

[Blake Shadle]

This is one of those rule breaking images that I love. I don't need anymore room than what's presented. The splash balances the composition very nicely. The pose that you captured is excellent. Very nice work. I might run some noise reduction on the background. Keep up the good work.

Hello and welcome to BPN!!!
I really like the colors,timing and details,maybe a little room to the left!

I like this. The image is sharp, wings nicely curved upwards. The water splashed behind adds to the drama. The red beak holds the attention.

A nice pictuer wich i saw olso at a other foru bud what the **** i keep on looking:)

Welcome to the folio Svetoslav!! Your first image is very well captured, catching the wings in a beautiful pose. The image is also well exposed with fine detail. I to wish for just a little more canvas in front of Pelican to give it more room to move into.

Welcome here Svetoslav. I am not sure about the composition here. I think that is a great idea to keep room for the splash but I would love to see a little more room also at the left. The action is reallt pleasant
