Canon 1D-X, 500mm x 1.4TC, handheld
f22, 1/800, ISO2000

Puncasa Harbor, Peru, three days ago. Shot from a boat with some swells moving through. It's a little centered, but I like the colors.

80% of full frame (cropped to try and pull the birds from away from dead center; selective sharpening to the birds.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

A fine "array" of pelicans Jim.  The repeated shapes and colors in their heads looks great and coordinates perfectly with the boat.  Well seen.

Quite the colorful lineup, Jim!  It's great how the bird's beaks match the colors of the background boat!  Very nice shot!
