Placida White Pelican

[Marina Scarr]

Don't normally crop bird shots to pano, but felt this particular one accentuated this White Pelican's wingspan and its feather detail.

Canon 40D, 400DO F4 IS
F8, 1/2500, ISO 400, manual mode
handheld, cropped to pano

C & C always welcome and appreciated,

Marina

Hi Marina
I think you nailed it here. I absolutely adore that wingspread and the fact the light is illuminating it so beautifully. If anything, I think it may be a little too saturated?

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose and good details. The light looks a bit harsh and I would lighten the shadow of the bill.

Marina this is great action and good exposure and detail. I like the composition too and agree with Axel's comments about the bill. Many thanks for sharing.
