    Terrific pose with great sharpness Rod! I might desaturate the yellows in the BG a bit as my eye is drawn to the bright areas. Thanks for posting!

    I really love the pose on the Pelican. I could do without the blue spots near the tail. Did you apply gaussian blur or other effect the BG?? If you look closely around the tail feathers you can still see the outline of your selection around the bird.
