Quite a capture! I think it needs just a tad of CCW rotation (based on the ripples), but otherwise i'm not sure I'd change a thing. The comp is great, and I'm a fan of the second pelican in the photo.
Hi Norm, certainly sweet light which in turn has brought the whits out nicely. I like the different preening poses from both Pelicans, and I feel since the reflections are not that clear, I would crop up from the bottom. Another vote for a touch of CCW rotation.
My first reaction, after loving the photo, was that it needed a bit of rotation. I love the comp as is and feel the reflections are important to keep in even if they are not clear. I think that the water is a bit too yellow though...adding about 15 points of blues in "Colour Balance" does the trick IMO but this is pretty subjective. Nicely seen Norm and you did a great job overall!
Excellent composition and light on this one Norm, and whtat,s more the birds are doing something !! I don't normally go for reflrctions but this one works well.
Good stuff
