Brown Pelican in landing mode. 1/800. f/7.1/ ISO 500, 400mm using a 100-400. Crop, resize, clone-replace some distractions. Hope it doesn't look too bad. :) Taken around 8:00am today.
Excellent Bill !!!! I like the pose and water very much You can bring some tones in the light areas by making a duplicate layer and multiply Then just lower the opassity Pelicans are tough since they are dark Your exposure is right on for making the best image possible
