Bird Photography by a Non-Bird Photographer 101—Lesson 3

Today’s masterpiece of bird photography shows a pelican against a very simple background of blue water.  Here I wanted the pelican to stand-out against the water.  Unfortunately, I could not blur the background to the extent that I would have liked.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D3, Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 shot at 300mm,  ISO 200, f/5.6 and 1/350th.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom 3—Adjusted white balance, mid tone contrast and saturation of various colors.

    This is definitely a more traditional bird photo but it also seems to lack some punch. It needs something.

    Nice but not really anything special.

    This is a well done wildlife shot. The background in this case doesn't have to be blurred more than what it is already. You still get plenty of separation between subject and background through the contrast of colors.

    The eye is sharp with a nice catch light in it. There is great detail in the feathers. The exposure is dead-on too,with no blown whites.

    The only nit I have is what appears to be a slight halo around the legs, the top of the head and down the outside of the bill.

    I like this a lot.
