Juvenile Brown Pelican

[Cheryl Slechta]

This was taken this year at Anna Maria Island Pier where there were many pelicans enjoying people's bait. I used PB on this one.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
Happy New Year to all of you - it's a great group

Hi Cheryl, What I like about this image..........well framed, nice application of PB in preserving the details in the Pelican and water; warm and cool tones work well together, nice pose of the bird angled toward the viewer, with wings partially extended. Overall I think you did a good job working the effect of PB while preserving the nice qualities of the image. Good one.

Nice juvi and pose. I like the way you chose to filter this. Composition is pleasing. Nicely done.

Jay summed it up very well. You did a nice job with this from capture through processing.

Thanks, Denise and Dennis.

I agree, Cheryl, nice pose and comp and like the amount of PB you applied to give texture and preserve detail. Nice softness to it.

Very nice pose and just the right amount of PB to preserve the details.
