Merhaba Selen very well done, amazing light and contrast, with good sharpness excellent focus, I really like the dark background, Composition is fine with the head placed in the top left third and the perch nicely disapearing into the dark background in the bottom right corner, POV is excellent with the the nice eye contact and expression keep up the great work. Selamlar Necip.

merhaba Selen hanım,
harika, mükemmel. siyah ve beyaz bu kadar güzeş durur bir çekimde. süper detaylar. netlik kompozisyon. yine 4/4lük (trakuş deyimiyle "başköşelik").
elinize sağlık, selamlar.

Hi Selene,
This is a great example of how well a DSLR can produce an image that shows dimension. I was told by someone who is old school and refuses to use digital cameras, that digital is flat and doesn't even compare. I believes this is the perfect image to prove otherwise, I could almost walk through this image. Absolutely beautiful. :)

Hello Selen ! Your shot is a superb one, great composition, great sharpnes, everything but the best of all is all the details you have in the highlights of the white feathers ! It's just incredible ! It's one of the best exposure I've seen of a white plummage. Thanks !

Hello Selen!

Flawless picture! It's just perfect. Big contrast between black BG and white bird was very hard to exposure but you did it in great way - every detail on feathers is clear and sharp, no sign of overexposure. Pose is also great - slightly majestic, slightly dynamic. Great photo!

Selen,
this is a gorgeous capture!
+++ Outstanding sharpness and detail especially in the feathers, a striking black BG makes the white pelican stand out perfectly, you've made the most of the lighting, a good composition and all round perfect!
--- Nothing of course ;)
I have added it to my favourites theme.
Well done,
Joe

Hi Selen,
A wonderful photo of the beautifully posing Pelican. I like his rough neck look caused by the wet feathers. The clarity in the eye is most wonderfully captured. I really like the way the dark BG brings out the beauty of the bird. The falling drop from the beak is magnificent.
TFS,

Hi Selen

Great shot of one of my favourite bird species - and I member I have not managed to see in the wild yet.

I really like the composition - the dark BG works really well. Good focus and exposure. The droplet of water is the finishing touch.

Hi Selen.
Perfect impressive picture of this cute bird. I like your contrast shot. Combination of white gamma of the Pelican, impressiveness of its pose and deep dark BG is great. Details of the bird is outstanding. My compliments and kind regards.

Hi Selen,
Excellent in every way, a work of art :)
Only very minor nit are the few stray marks BG around the subjects head/neck you missed, easily removed PP.
