Thank you for submitting your photo to the Free Study VII DPChallenge.
Excellent capture and composition. Capturing one of natures birds in flight is not easy. I am sure that you had been waiting for just the right moment to photograph this great water bird. The bird looks happy, healthy, and content with flying away, while give you a eyeful.
At first view its a pleasing shot. It does look a bit over done with USM. The color also looks a little over saturated. But none of these observations takes away from the awesome spectacle of this bird in flight. The colors in contrast with the birds brown color makes it very appealing. I had wish you had provided the camera shot settings. I image that is image was taken at a very fast shutter speed, probably about 1/400-500th of second. You had great outdoor light so most digital lens would have worked well.
Overall an amazing shot. I might have cropped less of the frame on the righ hand side, to show the direction of the birds flight.
Good luck in your future DPChallenges. |

the bird is beautiful. excellent capture. placement on the frame? Well, if you could, it would be best to have a little room to the right for him to fly into.
Still, fine moment. |

| Great stop action on this gliding pelican. I especially like the gradient blue, light to darker, bottom to top, giving the whole frame a sense of weightlessness. Great entry. |

| Now there's a shot you don't see everyday! It's amazing the sharp focus considering the the movement and distance (i guess it did not fly a couple feet in front of you). Are you sure it's not a stuffed bird shot in front of a sky backdrop? Really amazing. |
