| Has it been tagged? I see the ring on it's leg. You certainly had a wonderful model with this bird. I think it's smiling :D |

| So clear and sharp. Here's a nit-pick....not fond of the halo around the head. Love the detail in the pelican though. |

| The face of the bird is fabulous, the painting-like nature of the background works really well but I'm not so sure about the treatment of the wing feathers. |

| I really think the PP here pops this shot and makes it much stronger. Nicely caught. Ooooh the more I look the more I actually see, this guys been tagged (I believe that is a tag on his leg). Nice capture. |

| A little on the overprocessed side, but I like it. It does very good for the details on the pelican, though it also brought out some unpleasant graininess in the background. |

| Fabulous capture, perfect focus and depth of field. Looks like a longer exposure on the water, providing an ethereal look, while the pelican is in near perfect focus. A bit of odd blurring at the top back side of the head. 9 |

| Wonderful great detail on this pelican sitting on the dock. The bokeh effect with the ocean and the buildings in the backdrop makes it look like a painting or mural - makes the bird pop more because appears more real whereas it's environment does not. Colors, lighting and detail are very good - can see the fine details in the feathers of the folded wing and the soft golden down on it's top head. |

| The processing really emphasizes the bird from the surroundings. There appears though to be haloing around the bird and the heavy processing of the background is not to my liking |

| The intensity of the textures is great. It almost has a 3-d/cartoon look to it if that makes sense. I just love the expressions of pelicans. Wise beyond years. Wonderful use of horizontal and diagonal line (the shore and buildings). Nicely seen and executed. 8 |

At first glance I thought you had gone crazy with the topaz, but now I'm thinking that the background scene may actually be a drawing.
You have good details in the bird, but when I look closely there's something strange going on where the bird meets the background, it may be as a result of some editing you have done but it almost looks like you have superimposed the picture of the bird onto the picture of the background! |
