Pelican Party

There's a lot of JPEG compression artifacts in this image. Check your camera image settings. Are you saving at the highest quality setting?

Andrew--This image was shot in RAW and then converted to an 8 bit TIFF and finally to a medium resolution JPEG. Should I be doing something differently? Thanks for the help!

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

we must be on the same channel this week because I just got back from the Gulf Coast of Florida with some pelican work done. well done. the light really makes the colors pop out here. the pelicans are fun to watch and shoot as you can get pretty close before they take off. i like the shrimper in the FG and the BG. nice palmettos in the tree line as well. good shot Tyler. regards, J.K.

Thanks JK! I realize this is not a show-stopper photograph but I've been trying to branch out and do some wildlife and I thought this cluster of pelicans made a decent shot. Do you have any pelican shots posted in your portfolio? I'll swing by and check for them--if not, please let me know when you get some uploaded. I'm certain I could learn much from your work.
