    Congratulations Pat Lillich for your image "San Diego Pelican" being chosen as the Eager to Learn Spotlight Image for the week ending 3/4/2011!!!


    another image from the SD IPT

    canon 7d, 300mm f/2.8+ 1.4 tc at 420mm, 1/320 sec at f/9 ISO 400, +1/3 EV, aperture priority

    changed camera profile to camera faithful in LR, +clarity, vibrance, increased temperature and added a tiny bit of saturation and black. this is full frame.

    blurred background in CS5, used LAB curves to intensify colors and darken it a bit more, USM on bird

    still not happy with the colors - seems there should be someway to make them richer, less washed out looking. got a little carried away trying different things in CS5, and am no longer sure exactly what is in this image! But the orange on its neck feels a little strong, while the rest all feels a little blech. Will appreciate any suggestions and advice.

    thank you for looking

    Congrats, Pat! That is a terrific image - well done.

    (Didn't realize I was shooting with a BPN-honored photographer! )

    This was a really great trip. I love pelicans but had never seen them in breeding colors, they are stunning. I got a lot of input from the ETL folk who helped me do a much better job of processing for a repost later in the thread. Thanks so much guys!
