Had my settings set for egrets, so the pelicans just didn’t come out well. Went ahead and over-processed him because the shot was just too awesome. We’ll go back to that location tomorrow morning and try again with the correct settings!
@francoise Egrets are solid white, so you have to underexpose to get their feather detail. So Sir Pelican was also underexposed .... that never works out well!
Spectacular your pelicans are so different to ours. I posted a couple of pictures of our pelicans a few days ago. So interesting to see the difference.
Great picture.
