Splish splash.....

Found this White Pelican taking a bath at Ding Darling this past Saturday.
F/8, 1/640, 0 ev, ISO 100, 500mm. Thanks for looking, John

Hi John,
I like your composition, image and capture. I love the water splash. you have sharp details and good color rendition. I took just a tad off the bottom to get closer and focus on the action, also increased saturation a tad and adjusted the contrast. see if this presents well with you...:cool:

Neat looking image John Would suggest waiting for the pelican to flap or spread his wings I think it would make for and even stronger image !!!!

btw for these guys I sometimes use a slower shutter speed so the water doesn't get a frozen look Hard to judge since it all has to do with how hard they flap around !!!
