We saw a flock of brown pelicans at Estero Lagoon last March on Artie's IPT. I like the light on this guy and while I do wish he were looking at me, I also like his pensive demeanor. This is pretty much full frame and I added a bit to the top. I didn't mess with the left side because of the differing textures of the background.
20D, 100-400 IS @ 350mm, 1/400s, f/5.6, EC +1, ISO 800
Simple, but great, pose, LIGHT, BG, compo, maybe just a bit more room at hte bottom and to the right, but other than tha, I just like this one a lot! Congratulaitons!
The light looks good to me too. The bird is a little tight in the frame, and you don't have to worry about matching textures when you add canvas if you learn to use a quick mask. If you don't know how to do this, shoot me an email or pm and I'll be happy to help.
