Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Fauna II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Cayucos, CA
Date: Oct 3, 2007
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Oct 4, 2007

Converted from raw, adjusted exposure, color boost. PS7:
Crop, levels, sat on red channel. Resized, saved for web.

Every time that I go to the Cayucos Pier, there seems to be a school of fish going through that brings a jillion birds to feed. The pelicans work the hardest while the seagulls try to snatch their food. I can stand there for hours taking photos.

Wonderful, my eye is drawn through the image and right up to that lage one on the right side. Not a lot of detail showing on the birds, though.

Too much going on in the shot ... maybe see how it would look cropped to just the three largest pelicans.

i think there's too much going on in this picture, the eye doesn't know on which bird to focus
