    Nice action shot Sameer. I would think about removing the bottom pelican
    since his back is toward us and really doesn't add anything to the other two,
    then recrop the image.

    That's one ticked off Pelican, great capture of the action. Bird colors seem a little washed out and there is a lack of detail that Nik DE might help with, but also wondering if this is already a substantial crop. Agree with Doug that removing the lower bird and a recrop would help the image.

    Quite the action here, and at first I was wondering why the one with the fish was the chaser...but on closer inspection it's the other way around. I agree the bottom bird does not add and could be removed via crop (you can crop the whole body away and then clone out the head and neck.)

    Thank you Doug West for kind words. Yes, the third bird doesn't add anything to the picture.
    Thank you John Rowell, yes it's a heavy crop. Thank you so much Daniel Cadieux for your valuable input.

    That pelican was chasing the one with a fish around whole lake and that's why I noticed the potential actions to unfold, which I could capture.
    I was shooting raw and heance fps rate was slow on D800e, even though I could capture the actions in many frames.
    Here is another interesting frame which you may like with four pelicans!
