Flag of the Brown Pelican

Took this down at La Jolla back in January. Thought the bright colors & sharp triangle formed by its pouch made it look like a flag of some sort. Used Topaz DeNoise & Clean

C & C welcome & appreciated,

Brendan, I think it does look like a flag. I love what the clean filter did to the feathers and the colors are off the chart. Nicely done. BTW-I don't think this is an Art Morris approved HA.:t3

Wow, Brendan. Fabulous! Love the colors. This does remind me of a flag!

I wonder if we're subject to demerits for HA infractions with a flag :eek:

Thanks you guys, yeah, I know it was a little risky regarding the HA, and I'm just waiting for the sirens and ticket! Pulled into a OOTB side street, turned off lights. Hope I'm safe. :bg3:

I love the art of this and its graphic qualities. Set on a perfect blue bg. Wonderful mug shot HA... er... I mean pose. :S3:

Super job Brendan, I love it! Really nice capture, color, and detail. Love that La Jolla water and special light. Good job getting this close. Were you down by the Cave Store?

Thanks Steve & Kerry, appreciate the feedback.

Yes, by the Cave Store, and other side of the fence.

This is excellent, Brendan. Lovely light and colors. Nice use of filters. Beautifully done.

Love it Brendan, you did a very nice job with the filter's effects on the feathers and other details. Beautiful work!

Very nice colors and pose, Brendan. I think the HA is fine("looks around for HAP" :2eyes2:)! Well done!
