Another one from SWF IPT... I kept the focus on the head as the bird approached for landing. The pelicans were baited with fish. The settings were -
7D, EF 70-200 F4 IS + 1.4x @ 129mm
1/15 sec, f/14 Mode: Tv Metering: Evaluative Exp comp: +2/3 ISO: 100 (auto)
Adjusted for saturation, level and selective color. Hope you like it...
Beautiful, Indranil! The motion, composition, amount of blur, and detail in the head are all just perfect. :S3:
Indranil,
Did you clone out the ski tow rope? :bg3:
The tight crop works for me. Beautiful blur in the wings and good job at keeping the head and eyes sharp. Love the moment of capture.
If it were mine I might try either increasing the contrast slightly or the saturation. Well done.

Indranil, Nice job w/ the amount of blur and the action captured. Nice details in the head, maybe a tiny tiny bit tight but you did a great job framing it.:S3: Well done.
Perfectly captured with a nice combination of detail in the head and blurring. I agree with Richard that I would like to see a little more contrast or color saturation but I like it very much as presented.
Indranil, Wonderful combo of sharp and blur. Great timing and panning technique! :S3:
Very cool love it! :)
Indranil, you did a great job of keeping the head in focus while you panned! Blur looks great and I love the action. :c3:
Indranil. Great image. Very tough shot and you nailed it. regards~Bill
Thanks all. Appreciate your feedback.
I have fixed the contrast and saturation on the master.
That is very cool Indranil! Love the pose and blur - Really does look like the pelican is water skiing! Well done
Thanks Brendan.
Indranil, a perfect blur and the pose is great! He definitely looks like he's skiing.:S3:
