Pelican landing
I have gone back in my files to find posts to see me through until the weather is less unpleasant; trying to stalk birds in temperatures hovering around 100f is beyond me. This is a brown pelican coming in to land on a dock on Asena Key by Cedar Key in Levy county, Florida. It was one of the last pictures I took with my D80, using a nikkor 70-300mm f4 lens, and apart from cropping out the edge of the dock, it is unmanipulated and the bird is wild, although they are used to people in this area.
1/250s, f8, ISO 400

Nice high key pelican image, sharp, well exposed. I like the subtle hints of clouds and blue in the BG. I also like the comp.
Look forward to more, and welcome to BPN!
Cheers

Very nice. I like the square comp. The BG is lovely with the clouds (?or water) and the blue.
Tack sharp for a SS of 1/250 or is that a typo?

Absolutely was a typo! It should read 1/1250s! I must take more care.

Loving the finer detail in this and subtle colors, square crop and placement in the frame works very well, great work on this one
