Theme: Blur/White Pelican

[Indranil Sircar]

I thought I will try one more time this week to get a good blur... this one is from early morning today. Here are the settings -

40D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm hand held
1/20 sec, f/18 Mode: Tv Metering: Evaluative ISO: 100

Rotated, cropped and selective color adjustment. All C&C will be appreciated.

Indranil, Your persistence has paid off this is really, really good!! I might selectively sharpen the face more. The motion blur on the wings is terrific!! BG is clean and smooth!! Big Congrats!!

[Indranil Sircar]

i think the repost is better. love the clean bg with the nice lines. well done, indranil.

Nicely done Indranil!

[Dave Phillips]

sweet motion capture in the wings....a plus is seeing through to a nicely outlined body.
You can still do a good bit more sharpening on the head without getting halos.
