As a follow-up to my recent other pics, I managed to get a few more this afternoon. (Promise that these will be the last - Pelicans at least)

I was quite please with the way they came out. They have all have had some curves adjustment and sharpening applied.

Some lovely images here antman.
#2 and 3 for their interesting perspective.
#4 has a certain potential. It's visually attractive and could have been a beauty with a slight framing and perspective alteration to include the beaks of the the OOF pelicans on eithert side. I like the height gradation of the composition and the selective focus you have applied. It would have been interesting to see the effects of those framing changes to the visual impact.
I also like second last one for it's quirky appeal. Again all things being perfect you could have asked the left hand pelican to move in a little :lol:
Nice colour and imaging overall
cheers

Lovely stuff Antman.

#2, 3 and 4 are just great. Shame you didn't have a slightly wider angled lens for the 4th to include more of the pelicans, but I'd still be very happy with it

Thanks again everyone. Appreciate the feedback.

To answer a few questions -

Glen - Taken at Narrabeen - just near the ocean pool

Wendell - No flash. All afternoon light.

ABG and Marco - I was a bit lazy and 1st selected image 4 as I didn't have to do any cropping. Here is another that I had with some improvements as suggested. Unfortuantely its really quite difficult to get them all looking at the same direction at the same time. During these 2 pics they were acrtually looking at a paraglider overhead.
