I was visiting family in West Palm Beach. The pelicans seemed to find a good home here by restaurants and shops.
I actually rotated this iamge 90˚ - there really wasn't a natural angle that I could roate to make this look as appealing as I would like. I dodged and burned to add depth. Also used selective saturation / desat to add a bit of dram.

This shot is wonderful and I just love the edit. The selective desaturation is perfect and the Dof is spot on. I think the photo has wonderful balance and the splash of colour draws you in. This is very well done and it's one of the nicest shots I've seen in this challenge I hope to see this in the top 3. Great work. Best of luck.
