Here in Florida, we have brown pelicans year-round, and non-breeding white pelican juveniles, healthy adult white pelicans are winter visitors to Florida. |

Thanks Helen, I appreciate you comments and keep them in mind as I progress with my photography. Along with getting familiar with photography, I am also getting familiar with the birds of Florida. According to Selby, there is an American White Pelican and an American Brown Pelican. The pelican in my photo is a juvenile brown pelican ( 1st year) from what I can tell. |

Hi Helen, Although I do not see much difference between the two photos, I love the color(s) and tonal quality of this image. It is not an abstract photo, but it lends itself to the beauty of nature in a very special way. The furls are not perfect. The colors are not perfect. But, together they make for a perfect photo. I love the way the sharpness of the tips of the pedals blend with the softness of texture that abounds in the photo. Very nice! |

Hi Peter, What a cutie!! Certainly not an easy photo to secure. Your attention to detail (especially on a white bird) is great. Love the angle of his head. A catchlight would add some depth to the bird's expression. On the right, I would only crop as far as as the "nub" on the branch continuing the angle of the tail for a more harmonious look and feel. Your detailed description of the history of the image is much appreciated. |

Hi Peter, The use of color and light certainly reflects your technical proficiency and add to the beauty of the photo. Also, with all the various textures in the photo, the clarity is amazingly spot-on. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to make sure the house is level to the horizon. |

Hi Howard, Thanks for the welcome. I used a Nikon D7000 for this photo with my 120mm to 400mm lens. I did crop in LightRoom, but not that much. Check out the resent image as a reply to Lee Ann's comments. I did not use a teleconverter or the function on the camera that reduces the amount of pixels used when using a full sensor. |

I sent an image that was too large and it must have been resized to meet the
criteria. I think this explains the loss of detail. Attached below is an image that meets the original criteria.

This is a great photo Lee Ann. The photo reflects a multifaceted perspective as it mirrors the side of each mountain in the water, and at the same time, draws the eye down the river to an upside down apex where another mountain rises in the distance. With all that going on, my suggestion would be to crop the photo more at the bottom of the photo. I would also crop more off the right side of the photo. In all, a very interesting photo. |

Here is the background to the photo:
This photo of the Juvenile Brown Pelican was taken at Little Estero Beach in Fort Myers, Florida before Hurricane Ian. I used Lightroom for post processing with Topaz A-1 Sharpening. |

This image is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Monochrome sure makes the Great Egret "pop". Along with detailing the feather in the wings, the bird appears to be in a 3-D format. My only critique would be to soften the two "twigs" that are hanging down in the upper left hand corner of the photo. |
