Happy New Year, Tm J!

 

Thanks Grigoriy! Happy Newyear to you also, if all goes well I will celebrate Newyear in Frisco'  :-) ... if not, it will be San Diego  :-)

Thanks for viewing/comments! I took this shot under the advise of a fellow shooter

who turns out to be a wildlife artist who thinks front lighting is flat and backlighting is

more interesting. As a birdshooter, I learnt that in general, light should be from the back

but I think my new artist friend has a great point that we tend to miss - Backlight can

offer a lot more than we imagine!

I see your friend's point and here it works well, but still miss light on the back of the pelicans. A matter of tastes, I suppose

Thanks Jose!  Happy Newyear!

TmJ: as we all know, art may have different angles and opinions...this is only "another approach" but I like the birds and always enjoy your very good photos! Best regards and Happy New Year!

Muito Abrigado Joao! Always nice to hear from you, greeting from SoCal!   :-)
