About the Image(s)

Taken with my Nikon D 5200 on Manual Mode, Lens 55-200; Focal Length 105mm, Speed 1/1250 sec., F/5.6, ISO 400. Post processing Photoshop Basic adjustments, increasing the blur on the background, trying to sharpen front feathers and eye. Cropped added generative fill to the left to give more room in front of the pelican. Added a vignette. Finally, used ON1 to reduce noise. My questions: Is the cropping and adding more room in the front helping the image?

Does the blur due to bird movement help or hinder the image?

Good cropping, letting the pelican take center stage. I find the blur helpful in showing the motion (commotion) of the bird. I don't see more room added to the front - there is more room in the image you cropped - but I like the crop. Good lightening of the dark areas and enhancing the colors.   Posted: 02/14/2025 22:31:26
