The Competition

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I know this is yours Deb, but that isn't going to stop me giving this a comment and a score. Loads of lovely elements here - the pristinely sharp pelican, the long shadows, the gradient in the contrast as it washes out with the sun as the eye tracks up the frame, the degree t which the pelican remains aloof from the crowd and the way the fishermen pay it no heed. Then there's the toning - how absolutely perfectly judged.

Critical stuff: I can't think of a thing.

Overall: WOnderful scene, beautifully captured.

Cute pic, Deb, showing a group that plays well together.
Excellent technicals, of course.

Perfect timing to get the bird in the spotlight.

Comment by sjhuls:
Great subject and very fun, but I think it would have been better with a bright white background. And you lose the stem in the black background of the base.

Daisy chained

Comment by sjhuls:
This one is the lighting, it is too dark. The background is perfect but I would have lit the daisy much brighter. to stand out against the chain.
