This is from earlier this evening... settings were

7D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm hand held
1/15 sec, f/20, Mode: Tv, Metering: Evaluative, Exp comp: -1

Used adjustment layers for level, saturation and selective colors. Cropped and applied usm for the final web version. Your c&c will be appreciated...

Indranil, I love it. The blur is just enough to keep it from looking busy. I like the slight reflection of the birds in the water. The main Pelicans pose with the brightly colored feet hanging is terrific!!!

Love it, Indranil! The blur put my imagination in overdrive... Is the gallery reacting to an awkward, windy, landing attempt? :D Beautiful blend of colors/blur and comp. TFS

Nice image and application, Indranil.

Nice pose and landing pattern, while having the peanut gallery blurred.

I agree with what Denise said about the feet, it really makes the shot more interesting. I like the blur on this one and the group of birds on the bank.

Indranil, this is a nice blur. Well done!

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks all. Appreciate the kind words.

Nice capture Indranil, like the open wings, dangling feet, just the right amount of blur....TFS
