Re: Low Key Brown Pelican
Hi Brian: I really like this shot. The pelican's head really pops against the black background. I also want to know how you achieved the background.

Re: Low Key Brown Pelican
Nice shot, Brian. Finding opportunities with naturally vanishing BG like that is one of my favorites. Much easier to do with stationary things like flowers that you can revisit at different times of day. Well done.

Re: Low Key Brown Pelican
Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful light, detail and colour showing off the true beauty of the pelican.
I also with to learn to process low-key images and I have a low key egret, but first I will tackle high-key.

Re: Low Key Brown Pelican
Gorgeous detail!
Did you intentionally allow some of the background to show through the generally black area? I can't tell at this small size whether I like or dislike that aspect of it.

Re: Low Key Brown Pelican
I like to leave something. Large areas of monotone without texture will focus you on the subject but, I think the remaining color in the background is complementary to the subject.
