Great timing on this one Enrique,
The framing is perfect but IMHO the image is way, way to bright and hard to look at without sun glasses on my monitor.
Very cool image however . . .

Interesting moment, well captured. I would be tempted to underexpose it some more, but that's a personal preference. All in all very nice ! Cheers, Hans

Wonderful composition, Enrique. Welcome to the Avian Gallery. You really captured a great moment here. I'm uncertain about the brightness of the image that others have mentioned. I'd almost like to see the pelican black, which would require reducing the brightness a lot.

Amazing Enrique, I think the exposure level is fine but there's a bit too much space above the pelican for me. Very well done.

Wonderful shot. It is a point of view we don't often see. The colors are stunning. :toast:

Cool image. I don't understand the texture that is very evident in the larger version? Looks like canvas?
