    Default Just missed - Brown pelican

    After a couple weeks of rains, I finally got out for a short time today, but found very little activity, on a cold and windy morning. This brown pelican dived a few times in my camera range, but as you see, with this exposure I did not get both wings completely in the frame. However, I have been too long without images to bring home, so I decided to post -- without crop and with sharpening, for I thought this image out of camera was not too bad "as is". Perhaps we could start a new category: "just missed"; "almost"; "darn it". or whatever.

    Looks good straight OOC to me. Shame you missed, but this crop kind a works. :)

    I would tidy the green in the ULC only. Maybe try a slightly tighter crop as well. You have some opportunities here to experiment. :)

    Nice dorsal view and a very good OOC! Too bad the wing got chopped. You could still go two ways - creating a virtual wing or cropping the other wing for balance and symmetry.
