Rosy Pelican Fine Art - C&C Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

Recently m trying my hands in fine art with Wildlife. So, i tried to capture Rosy Pelican in flight with slow shutter. (handheld)

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crops and processing.

Thank You

Hi Raj,

More of an abstract if anything. Nicely presented.

I'm a fan of blur, Raj; I often try my hand at ICM, blending multiple exposures, and applying various types of blur in photoshop to achieve the impression I want.

I think this is good concept, but this example doesn't quite work for me. I think the blurred background in this shot is in conflict with the subject. The bird is soft and graceful, but the lines in the background are hard and sharp. A slow exposure pan might not be the best way to achieve the affect you want with a fast-moving pelican. An alternative might be to shoot a burst and then combine and blend the different frames in post.

I think I would try raising the whites in the bird's feathers to give it a bit more pop.

Thanks a lot for your valuable review and suggestion. I got your point, will try to reshoot it soon without panning Really Appreciated What if i darken the lines in the background?

I like the concept and but I think the main issue is the upbeat of the wings which mask the bird
I think if you could time your shot for the time the bird glides between flaps might enhance the image IMHO
