Love the soft, soft light, all the whites, and the low angle. Very well done.

[Jim Fenton]

Looks kinda of dreamy and the techs are right on all the way around.

I might have cropped a hair from the bottom but it looks fine as presented.

[Willem Verboom]

The sharpness and low angle works very nice in this picture. Nice clean picture.

The light and calm water make this one for me. I might crop a tad off the bottom and remove the dark spot in the middle of the bill.

Very dreamy as mentioned. I wanted to see if I could coax out a bit more definition from the whites and reduce the reflections off the water a bit. Perhaps a different feel, but I almost felt like the original was too white. Probably just a matter of taste.

Cheers

Wow Randy. You did some fine work there. Agree on the two distinct moods.

Hi Randy,
Thank you for taking the time and re working the image, but the original post is a better representation of what i saw in the camera viewfinder;).

Adams:

You of course get the final vote!!:D

I love the mood captured in this image.
I hear what you say, but do prefer Randy's post visually. I prefer your BG sky colour.:)

Fantastic shot with the nice experiment of somewhat different exposure...

[sulasula]

I can´t remember better shot of Pelican! It absolutely works for me!

[Juan Aragonés]

Those pastel like pinks and blue hues in the image are just exquisite. Love the low shooting angle, clean Bg and eye contact. The bird´s pose is great. Very good job

[Kiran Poonacha]

liked randys touch, but very beautifully executed image this, low angle, great on the whites and good compo...
