There wasn't much of a sunset today here at Marco Island, but there were a few pelicans feeding of the beach. This was taken about 8pm and it was a little cloudy. Since the longest lens I brought with me is the 200, the shot was cropped about 40%
Hi Oscar, I like this a lot. I feel that perhaps you could crop a little more from the right side of the picture to change the balance a little. Also, is there any way to lighten the face slightly??
Congrats!

Hey Oscar,
How is the beach life? I like this one, the only thing here, is that the background is too bright. You need to compensate less for the exposure perhaps instead of +1.0EV; you should have used a +0.3EV.. Keep them coming...:D
Oscar (and Gus)
I like the action in this image.
Gus, if he changed the compensation to +0.3EV, don't we lose all the detail in the bird? I think this is a really difficult image to get the exposure right with the dark bird and bright water.
its a contrasty shot with the white head and the dark body, but at 8PM should be doable. exposure doesnt look bad. i think +0.3 would have made the bird darker. you can always darken the water!! good luck this week oscar!! i think you will have some good sunsets shots this week!!! tonite may be your nite!!!!
I myself would prefer better exposure of the bird at the cost of a over-exposed background in an all-natural light photo situation. Overall I think the composition looks good. May be a tiny bit of crop from the right. Yeah, the bird should look even better if it's brighter. Shouldn't be a problem with post-processing.
Hi Oscar I like the pose a lot and the water sure looks great !!!
Agree with suggestions and here is a recap with re post !!!! btw it has a secret shadow/highlight which is a big time secret !!!! Don't think I've posted this info before. Try these numbers ...... 25/55/245 !!!!! Also did a little with Viveza and cropped to taste !!!
Going fishing
