This pelican landed right in front of me, soaking wet from a dip in the ocean. I pulled up the curve a bit and added +15 brightness in Photoshop. Too much? Not enough? Just right?
At least he looks better than I do when I get out of the water. I do love all the fine detail the 5D mkIV caught on this bird!
Wow the details certainly are there, and the brightness looks good on my monitor. Maybe a bit more room above would be good, and I do feel the image is rather on the cool side as far as WB goes. f/9 proved to be just perfect here.
Super details on this wet bird. One more vote for a little more room above. I can't comment on the WB...looking at it on a non calibrated monitor. Very nice work!
Nice one Jake. Great details and a very unique portrait of this super wet pelican. I agree with a touch more room above and also warming up the bird. Curious is this daylight white balance?
