Pelican in Flight!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

the Pelican is great, i probably would have cropped a weeee bit tighter though.

The Eagle (Hawk?)(no.3) could probably benefit from some of the dark shadows brought out a bit more in P&P.
otherwise nice and sharp shots especially no.1

The Osprey hung arouund for quite awhile and I was lucky to get lots of pics of it! I agree with the shadows though!

Thanks for looking!

Very nice photos Scott, the pelican is great and the Osprey is a very unusual bird.

I took a few shots of an osprey last week:

My shots were a tad blown except for one but it is a beautiful bird all the same.
