Pelican headthrow
This was taken just before sunset. The whites were a challenge and I used spot metering. Here are the settings...
40D, Sigma 50-500 @500
1/800 sec, f/8, ISO 400, Av mode, spot meter, handheld
Used layer mask and Gaussian blur on the background. Your comments will be appreciated...

Cool pose and BG. I might tone down the highlights and maybe crop a bit off the top. It would have been even better if the entire neck were sunlit.
I fell the angle of light is not ideal. But, the action is great! You did a good job with exposure. A little more room below and less above would be nicer for my taste. :)
Axel, Ákos, thanks for the feedback. Here is another shot taken few minutes earlier with better light... this one with the following settings -
1/1600 sec, f/6.3, ISO 400, Av mode, spot meter, exp comp -1/3, handheld
