Backlite Pelican (Been away... still away actually)
Hi everybody, I am sorry I haven't participated much, but I am away from home, in Chile to be more specific, visiting familly and friends.
After a week here yesterday I visited a plce to photograph Pelicans, very nice spot with great flights oportunities and some very nice light, as I have been seeing a lot of images of this place in a Chilean forum I decided I would try something different from those images, and here's what I managed to create. Hope you like and I hope to be able to start participating as much as I like soon.

This is very very nice! Love the rimlight and the distinct form of a pelican that it creates. I think you could probably go a bit further with increasing the highlights to get a bit more out of your rimlight effect. Otherwise pretty much excellent!
To me the beauty of this shot is in the way it reduces the shape of the bird to a few very simple lines that are distinctly giving the pelican its shape.
Outstanding!
This one is fantastic Ramón, really creative and artistic. Very well seen. It reminds to my a superb image of a polar bear by Miguel Lasa that won an award in the BBC WPOTY contest. :)
This is lovely and inspiring Ramon. Very well seen. It too reminds me of Miguel's Polar bear and just goes to show what wonderful talent is being shown here. VWD!
