    Had a great day shooting at Alafia with James, Sid and Michael.
    It was a great day and full of action. Caught this Pelican taking a bath. Cloned out a few lighter spots in the dark area in the BG.

    Thank you again James.

    I love it when they do that! You got a pretty cool pose here with the outstrectched wings at water level. The pano crop works for me, and love the water spray! Although minor I'd see if you can lighten the left eye a bit (bird's right) to match the other.

    A full day of stunning Spoonies and you posted this... Perfect!!
    I almost posted this guy as well but went with a Spoobill first and he'll be tomorrow.
    It was nice to meet you.
