Excellent sharpness JP, and I like the pose too! I think the bird needs to be placed in the left part of the frame rather than the right. The eye looks a little dark on my monitor. And I think the rest of the bird could stand a brightness boost. Here's a repost that tries to address these issues. What do you think?
Boy, those pelicans are lost! I've been to that pond and its amazing how many really lost water birds show up there! I like the repost, nice PS work Doug!
Hi JP,
! vote for the original......even if it is on my laptop. You had very nice detail in the whites in the original and some of them were lost in the re-post. As for the crop.........even though the re-post adds to where the bird is looking.........the original gives room to fly.............both seem to work for me.
Very nicely done!
