These Pelicans were snapped at a tiny coastal town called Eagle Point, where I recently spent some time at my parents holiday house.

Excellent collection ... I love the crispness and the last shot is composed perfectly for me to sense the flight of that bird.

Comments and crits are much appreciated.
Shoot till your finger bleeds ... it is just a moment in time and then it is gone forever.

Very nice series Dale. I took the liberty to decrease the Contrast to -30 on one shot as you have Image Editing OK.

What do you think?

Stephen, the edit looks very nice. More natural for a bright day.

I was going to ask, what's the Gamma do? What should I use it for in any given pic?

Thanks guys.

Stephen: That does look alot better. I'm still very new to post processing and make mistakes all over the place. Bumping up contrast willy-nilly is something I need to control. ;)
