Pelican Wings Down

[Harold Davis]

Was able to photograph this guy yesterday afternoon at boynton beach. hope you like it.

D300, 18-200VR at 200mm, f/10, 1/1250s, 0EV, ISO 800

thanks for looking. tell me what you think.

I like it and would have loved it had he bird been 50 feet lower! Good EXP control. A crop from the bottom would improve this as there is too much dead space there... Did you have that horrific east wind? Were the Gannets still around?

[Alfred Forns]

One of my favorite wing positions for pelicans Harold Agree on wishing it was lower and the slight crop Love the eye contact !!!!

[Harold Davis]

thanks guys, and yes on the east wind and yes the gannets were around, but too far out to photograph. will try again today! how'd you know about the gannets?

[Raul Quinones]

Like the picture a lot, nice eye detail.
I think you forgot a dust spot on the right lower corner.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Great shot my friend. Love the sharpness on the bird.

[Philip Lombard]
