I just managed to capture this awesome pelican, as it was coming into land, on the lagoon, at Maryborough.
I then converted this to greyscale, and then to duotone, in a soft pale blue/grey tones.
Great shot, Shez. I gotta say I like the colored version better. We have had such a problem with oil spills, tar, and water fowl getting caught in the muck, that the duotone is a little too realistic for me. 8)
I like this version better...I hate to be critical on such an awesome shot, but I wonder since the direction of travel of the bird is left to right and up if the composition would have been stronger with the pelican in the lower right 3rd with lots of space to travel into? Great shot and timing either way!
