After Doug's good suggestion of including eyes in the composition of this brown pelican, here's one of the many I shot more traditionally -- profile and with a catchlight in the eye. Nikon D200, 140mm, 1/3000 sec at f/2.8.
Love the angular stuff with the bill going across the frame as a diagonal. No blown highlights, nice detail in the feathers, catch light in the eye...what more could you ask for?
What struck me about this one is the great color combination throughout the photo--subject and background blend wonderfully. The softness of the background and the details in his feathers really makes him come forward. Great job.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The color of the feathers reminds me of mink (or what I think mink must look like, I wouldn't know). That background is gorgeous too.
