First day out in about a month, sure was good for the soul. Fortunate to photograph this very active Brown Pelican.

Nice pose, light and splash. The pelican looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor.
Sharp indeed. With the bird angling towards you the merge of the bird and the splash is distracting. Perfect light angle.
Hi Kirk,
Good action and timing. The image looks over sharpened.
cool capture. i like the action!! nice job.
Excellent timing and beautiful lighting. I really like the agle of this capture and the good eye contact. Thanks for sharing Kirk.
Thanks for all of your comments, you're right it is over sharpened, I always struggle with this. I don't own CS3, I use Capture NX for all PP and I need to learn how to effectively sharpen my images with USM and other tools. Does this look any better or still too sharp?
Beautiful image and great timing.
