Laughing Pelican PtII

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I posted my best of this bird laughing at me in the avian forum ages ago, and had this lingering about in my documents. I thought may fit here?

Please let me know your thoughts. I totally desaturated the image, and I cropped it so the wings (which were cut anyway) are as close to the diagonal corners as possible from each other. Though I could rotate CW a bit to make it more corner to corner.

BTW, I have no photoshop at work. Bummer. :D

Akos, Great pose with the toilet bowl look!! I like the feet hanging,looks like it may need a bit of contrast and a round of sharpening. Fabs may not like the wing coming out of the corner- Cool image!!

Thanks Denise, as always. :) Ouch, Fabs is the crop police? ;) Soon we'll have the Police Police. LOL. Just kidding. I see what you mean. The bugger was just too close to fit it in and I wish I had a battery grip to go vert. Without it is so awkward.

Akros, I agree that another round of contrast and sharpening would help. And, since this is the OOTB forum where rules don't apply...why not crop an equal distance on the other wing and have them both leaving the frame?

[Michael Pancier]

I agree with the above comments. Esp. needing more contrast!

Here is a contrast boost. No PS at work, sorry. Just Microsoft crapster photoware.
