"What Fish?"

Just got back in town from a winter birding trip! I do love those Pelicans.

Kathy,

Great clarity and focus. Without his eye, you could almost mistake him for some strange type of flower. Nice work.

Hi Kathy - great detail and good eye contact - I would sharpen a tad more and do some work on the eye - lighten a tad and sharpen.
Looking forward to more :)

Kathy, I love Pelicans, I like your interesting crop! Maybe a tad lighter on eye. Well done!

Hi Kathy,
I like the composition, you have a very good head angle and sharp eye contact...I adjusted the mid-tones and lightened the background just a tad. also lightened the eye and resharpened...see if this presents best to you...:cool:

Hysterical Kathy! Love the fish in the mouth, maybe the eye somewhere between the orig, and the repost by Gus. Really like it:)

Love it Kathy One the most unusual pelican poses !!! :) Just the mid tone adjustment suggested by Gus Big Congrats on this one !!!!

[Kathy Reeves]

Thanks, for the suggestions. Glad to hear you think the eye needs to be lightened. Sometimes I feel like I lighten it too much and it does not look natural! The mid range adjustment is right just what it needed to make it stand out.
