    I like the concept and the image design but wish for a square head angle. I would eliminate the three or four black things around the bird and the tiny white stick right below the bill.

    Rakesh;

    Striking image, strong graphic elements, colors.

    Agree about the head angle and minor clean up.

    Quite eye catching really

    Cheers

    Rakesh, I like this setting too, sort of a petrified forest in water. You have placed the pelican nicely in the frame, and agree that cleaning up will put this up a notch.

    Rakesh, liked the design here. good call on the f-stop....it simply would not have worked if the center dry tree trunk would have been blurred more. If you are into cloning and such, there is definite room for improvement.
