Amazing

 

Any input would be valued.

Any advice would be welcome.

Amazing. Wonderful part of the world you live in.

Should I replace the white sky behind the koala with green?

Hi thank you all for comments. To those wondering this shot is unaltered (no cloning or pasting). The title refers to names given to these pelicans by a retired lady that lives a couple of hundred metres from where the birds spend most days. The lady watches and talks to them and has named them all and is very protective (stops children from throwing rocks etc). She alway comes up to talk and tells me what her two favoutite birds Big Boy and Babe have been doing (She has known them since they arrived at Kirton Point at about 9 months of age). I also like to sit quietly on the sandbar keeping below the pelicans eye height (some days for 2 or 3 hours). The birds have accepted me into their world and will come right up to me. I never feed them or touch them. I find them interesting as so often I see strong personality traits in them and they remind me or differnt people I know! Hope this helps answer some of the questions raised. Cheers from Australia. John

Any comments on the saturation of the sky would be helpfull. Cheers

Any ideas on what colour I should make the shadows?

Wondering if I should clone out the seagull over the front pelicans

foot? Or is that cheating?

Very good. Wondering what software was used? johnwhite64@yahoo.com

Excellent eye to see this

I love what you do with that reversed lens!

Ive tryed to reproduce this as close as the original print. Many find

the colours too saturated. Any opinions?

Is the sun too bright in the centre?

The colours are out of the camera with a slight darkening of the

blacks and a little increase in the lights. Is this too colourful?

Excellent backlight
