Australian Pelican (re-post)
Taken very early one morning Febuary last year whilst camping near the town of Denmark, WA.

20D, 70-200 f/4 @ f/5.6, handheld, very slight crop, converted from raw, set B&W point in levels, touch of noise ninja and USM.

Thanks

Hi Paul

What a 'poser' great water giving that wonderful reflection. Only thing I'm not too sure about is the strip of land in the BG. Either way a nice image!

Wonderful shot. What more can I say... perhaps a tighter crop?

Great image Paul - nice full reflection - would like to see him a bit more to the right and not so central :wavey: :toast:

Super shot with a wonderfully clear reflection. Would prefer the bird to be just a touch more to the right in the frame.

Thanks as always for advice - I've re-cropped it as suggested. Better?

Repost works really well - I've worked with these a few times on trips Down Under, and they are good photographic value. Love the reflection.
