This image if OVER THE TOP amazing!!! Love the wide angle look and the amazing environment and sky. I feel that if you took a crop off of the bottom, it would be more powerful and drive the eye to the pelicans and the sky more quickly.

Thanks Marina
Do you think now it could be better ?
I leaved more sky to give more impressive about the cloud with a background blue

I would not take any canvas off of the top at all...only the bottom. This is what I was thinking.

One of the best wide angle bird images I have seen for a while. Great work, Giovanni.

[Joseph Przybyla]

Lovely Giovanni, the birds, the landscape, the sky...

[Grace Scalzo]

Spectacular! Love the colors!

[Troy Lim]

This is stunning....Marina's version is more powerful.

[Andre Pretorius]

What an image!

Agree with the crop @ bottom.

Stunning DOF!

I do not know these pelicans, are the pouches naturally this bright red?

Well captured Giovanni!!!!

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Awesome image Giovanni. Echo all the positives above. Marina's repost does it for me. Excellent work.

[Giovanni Frescura]

Yes
they are Dalmatia Pellican (Lake Kerkini Greece...) and red is their natural color in the months of repruduction

[Jonathan Ashton]

Spectacular image one to be really proud of - this is competition material if ever I saw it!

[John Rowell]

Wow! Amazing! Pick your word, this image is a real winner. Colors are terrific, IQ is great throughout. This just makes me think they are all really celebrating a fine, fine day. Really well done.

Super image to start with, and Marina's repost takes it over the top! Well done!
