Diving Brown Pelican

[Indranil Sircar]

My first posting for this week's theme... this was taken late in the afternoon. The settings were

7D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 417mm hand held
1/8 sec, f/32 Mode: Tv Metering: Evaluative ISO: 100

Adjusted exposure and blacks in ACR. Increased the saturation by few points. Your C&C will be appreciated...

Indranil, Nice ghostly type blur w/ warm golden tones in the BG making it lovely.

Lovely blur, Indranil. But still recognisable as a pelican. Very well done:)

Hi Denise, Kora, thanks for the comments. Appreciate it a lot.

You did well Indranil, very interesting image

Indranil, this is very nice! I love the golden tones, the positioning in the frame and the fanned tail!! :)
Best,
Nicki

I like this one a lot. I'd ease off on the yellow SAT though. One of the big problems that arises with this type of slow shutter speed images is that the head is the first thing to lose definition... (Been there, done that too many times...)

Thanks Artie. Here is the repost with reduced yellow saturation...

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks. I do like the brown Brown Pelican better:)
