Now this is Soooo coooool. A pelican coming in for a landing.
What fabulous stop action to get this. My only wish is you could have darkened the area around the pelicans head. But... wow! A pelican in flight with his wing span like this and feet down as if wheels on a plane about to land... Wicked coool!

Hi there.
Great initial impact.
Good framing or cropping.
Nice colour vibrancy.
What shutter speed did you use if you dont mind me asking?
Thank you for sharing

Thanks for feedback - Aperture F11.0 ISO400 Exp Time 0.002s (1/500) I took a series of pictures as the pelican flew over but I had never seen a bird move like this in mid flight.

Great. Thank you very much =o)
Comment from Intrepid
You certainly got a good capture here. I know this is stop action photography, but bird looks like it is about to crash. The sky is a deep blue color which really helps create contrast with the bird. You have a good focus on the main subject.

Comment from Sam S
This is a fantastic image. Good COI, focus, crisp detail and shot of his landing gear. Nice blue sky. I think that a landscape shot would have been much better. Too much sky on top and not in the front. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, an earlier review also suggested landscape view and I must admit I have the landscape view printed out and on display I cropped it for FAR to center the subject but can understand your comment when comparing the two.

Pretty nice picture with a clear COI and good story. The color and composition are fine. The lighting is fairly well but could have the highlights darkened a bit to make the details of the head show a little better and calm the bright spot too.

Thanks for the feedback - when I get PhotoShop I hope to be able to fine tune currently I am only able to crop or make minor contrast change.

How funny.
Looks like he is getting ready to bring down his landing gear.
What a great composition. Good focus also.
