Sunrise Pelicans

[Michael Thompson]

The lake was calm and steamy this morning, with the sun coming up to back light these birds.
Canon 7Dll, canon 100-4000 ll, 1/1000ss, f6.3,iso 250.

Beautiful atmospheric scene, I like this a lot. Not sure if it's because of the angle of the bank, but it might need a slight CCW rotation.

Dear Michael,

Truly an eye grabber from the colour POV, I could not wait to open the thumbnail! I certainly was not disappointed! Love the mood here and tranquility of the scene, very dream-like, this is so unique and refreshing.

Well seen and captured and I like the presentation, delighted to notice that one character is busy feeding on a little fish (am I right?)

I took great pleasure viewing - many thanks for sharing, I sincerely hope you contribute more often in this forum:)

Kind regards,

Lovely colors and would love to see a pano crop here, what do you think?

[David Cowling]

A lovely mood image. The colour is lovely and the fact that the birds are in silhouette leaves the viewer something to think about. Agree about a slight CCW otation.

Thanks for the comments! here are some modifications, one a slight counter clockwise tilt, the other a narrower crop, not really a pano though, not sure how to do that....I also do not know how to separate the images in the post...~ MT
