Pelican on Green

[Roman Kurywczak]

More room than normal for me........but i really liked the water........and figured I'd give Artie a break from telling me it's "too tight":D. See...I do listen......it took every effort to stay away from that crop tool though. Little estero from Jan. reflection of mangroves in the water in the am.
Canon Mark 3 with the Sigma 300-800 at 800mm (where was my 1.4:confused:) for 1/5000 sec at f7.1 and ISO 800.
As always comments welcomed and appreciated.

Great pose and exposure and good use of side light. Love the water and the spiky do :)

Hi Roman - another Sigmonster fan hey ?? Looks like you waited for the perfect ha with the side lightng :)
Like it a lot.

If it was mine - I might crop a tad off the bottom to remove the white reflection area - IMHO.

Terrific head angle and great detail, lovely light and colors! Good BG/ambient. Congratualitons!

Hey Roman, it looks a little tight to me. :) :) OK, just kidding. I like the pose, head angle, and sharpness. I wonder if a little CCW rotation is in order? - or is it an optical illusion?
