Brown Pelican Portrait

[Joel Eade]

I am in Tampa just for a long weekend to help my daughter prepare for the coming of our first grand child....couldn't resist bringing my camera too:)

This Brown Pelican was a small pier where we went to a dog beach this morning to exercise her dog.

HA isn't optimal. Very good exposure, sharpness, detail. I like the unclusion of the horizon!

Hi Joel, nice image with good techs. Would only wish for a slight head turn your way for a better HA. I might lighten the eye a bit too. Good catch!

Nice Joel. Looks like maybe a young bird. The colours seem muted. I would enhance the saturation a little to compensate.
