looking for an early breakfast on the lake.......

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.

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.

Very Very nice Big Pix.
IMHO it would have been brilliant if the boat was a litte right of centre and the pelican a little left, but hey this is pretty close.

Nice colours and great composition. You have certainly captured the moment well.

HI

Very nice shot. the pelican is too close to the boat. the camera's focus point was not on the boat. Would prefer the boat to be the focus point.

regards,

Arthur

thanks for your comments.......

Arthur...... there is NO central frocus point as it is an overall view......I am still on a learning curve with birds and not up to your standed of control of birds, must change my brand of bird seed....... the image shown is part of a larger image which I will post to night

Catcha...... Well spotted.... The sky was put in using the GRADENT TOOL, the image has been created using the RAW processer and saturation after, with a little USM and levels for contrast. The raw image does not show the colours as vivid as posted but they are there and have to be brought out, this is an old image reprocessed using ACR in PSCS2 which I find much better than PSCS, I am finding that I have a much finer control over my images and a greater depth of colour control, the colours are softer and finer if needed, but you can add contrast when you process but I prefer to add contrast later for better control.

Tonight I will post the 2 or 3 steps I took to obtain the image which anyone can do with a bit of patience using camera RAW in PSCS2 or PSCS. This quality of work is within everyones reach.

Cheers
