Pelicans on Jarvis Bay

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.

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.

I have seen a few like this effect lately, so found this in the library. Thoughts, like, dislike? Do I have to much foreground?

Nice use of lines Tony. Boat makes for an interesting picture.

I'd be inclined to crop the foreground, and perhaps the left side as well.

Or for something very different, crop from the right.

I tell you, little grass hopper.....empty space in a photograph..... can be like silence......in music. It can signify peace, tranquillity, calm and harmony. Rare qualities in todays world. :up:

I agree with the comment above. I believe that cropping bottom and left leaving the pelican on the bottom two thirds would improve the scene and photo further.

I'd also vote to shave a bit off the bottom. I am unsure about left or right, or even to crop from the sides at all, I cant find a compromise between the wide format and de-centering the pelicans without an aggressive crop
