    Default Brown Pelican

    I captured this image in September 2017 at Ft. Desoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. The Brown Pelican is normally a coastal bird where as the White Pelican is a inland bird on fresh water lakes and ponds. This year I have been seeing Brown Pelicans inland on the lakes around Lakeland, Florida. I think the red tide that has killed so many fish in coastal waters is causing them to come inland in search of food. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    A nice young bird. TECHs good but you are a bit short on head angle ... And the perch is less than ideal.

    Beautiful Looking Bird. I think a bit more vibrance will help the image

    Hi Joe, looks like your PP has stepped up a great, nice one. Just watch you clipping in the darks of the tail feathers Joe, agree with Krishna, perhaps +10 of Vib and +10 in Lights in the Tonal Curve of LR.
