Congratulations Indranil Sircar

This is the third in the series of the pelicans I have posted here. After three days of trial, I finally got one that was just about to enter the water. I could have gone lower but then I do not have the top view of wing span. Settings were -

40D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm hand held
1/1250 sec, f/8 Mode: Av Exp comp: -2/3 ISO: 400

Workflow included adjusting level, curves, saturation, selective colors and removing color cast followed by selective sharpening. I would like to get your feedback on the composition and if anything else could have been done better.
