You've really nailed that high-key look. The foreground reflection is great. It all makes it look as though the pelican (? I could be wrong) is heading off into the unknown.
just stunning alicia .. i love the different colours .. like the dark brown of the bird and then the blue of the shadow and then the sandy reflection .. :) .. excellent high key ..:) ..
just read cfarrell's comment .. 'the detail of the flowers' .. am i missing something ??..:)
Are you kidding me? This is such an amazing stop of motion! WOW! It's amazing to see what you're doing for "fun" these days! Great composition, I love the high key half of it, the detail of the flowers, and the subtle touch of the feathers against the sand. What a lot to just enjoy.
This is great! At first I thought the background was too white then, I clicked on it to view it bigger, and the white doesn't bother me. I think it's great, and I'm jealous that you're in Florida!
Hi Alicia! I always enjoy your images and this one is no exception! I love the highkey effect, the nice reflection on the water and how the wings barely touch the sand. Nice capture.
