You did well with the editing, especially by adding contrast -- maybe add even a little more contrast. Great exposure, with no blown out whites. Eyes well done. You could crop in from the right side somewhat and remove that black object at the bottom left. Posted: 11/13/2025 16:26:47
Sunat - nice picture of a Great White Pelican. Nice lighting. It is sharp and your exposure was spot on. As one who doesn't like animals sat the the centre, I would remove some of the right so it's looking in the frame better. I would also consider selectively (bird only) increasing the contrast just a bit (or Dehase). Posted: 11/18/2025 16:41:43
