Wow, impressive capture! I also like the crop, with a minimal perch and nice use of empty space. The BG nicely offsets the pelican, and the IQ is very high overall. Perhaps the water is just a touch too electric blue? Would be interested to see what others have to say on the saturation.
The pose is really brilliant. And the colours on the bird are beautiful.
I was actually thinking the same about the water even before reading Rhys' post. All else looks great though. Super timing, nice sharpness as posted, and the techs look spot-on.
Killer pose and action Murali.
Ditto on the water. Love the pose and detail in this image! Portrait very well captured!
