Keeping an eye on you!

Busy weekend....experimenting with my new D300 toy, went to the ZOO in Emmen to try the camera. Playing with different setting, forgot to reduce the ISO-setting after playing with. This close up of a pelican head appeared to me very colourful, used 1250 ASA and a quite short shutter time to prevent motion blur.

Anyway it's now your change to slaughter me :-)

...shoot!

Wow Hans, now that's some kind of detail, and it is definitely keeping its eye on you. Great detail in the texture of the feathers, the skin around its eye, and that huge bill. I like the one little drop of water on its ... forehead!
Great shot.

Hi Hans,
Superb close-up!
I like the way you use the beak for a diagonal composition!
Very beautiful deep blue on the background enhancing the iridescent whiteness of the plumage. Just a little nit pick about the eye. It is a little too dark. I propose you a WS.
Bravo! Annie

Hello Hans,
Amazing macro and a fantastic sharpness (the little drop in front is superb). I love the crop you've made, it adds an extra force and works very well with the blue b/g. A wonderful photo.
Good night, mb

Daggone, Hans,
Extraordinary close up of this pelican. Great light, wonderful textures, incredible detail. I love the drop of water on the feather of his face and the tiny bit of light caught in the eye. I am sooooo envious. I want a D300 so badly..:))) Very nicely done!! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

A cute title and an incredible close up. The detail is great, I like the water droplets. I've for sure never seen a pelican this close. TFS

Beautiful Hans! The BLUE in the water is a nice compliment to the orange of his beak. There is a beautiful softness to those feathers! I like this a lot! So happy to know your eyes are watching! I feel safer already! XOXOX (my hero)... This is fabulous my Hansie!

Hola amigo,
hermoso retrato,
efectivo pov y excelente nitidez,
saludos Hans

Bonjour Hans.
Les détails que montre cette prise de vue sont parfait et permet une bonne observation des détails dans le plumage et de l’œil.
Les couleurs sont également belles pour mettre en valeur ce pélican rose.
Bonne journée.
Urs

Hi Hans,

Not sure why you would think someone would “shoot?” My eyes aren’t that great, but I can’t see any graininess due to the higher ISO. This is a very nice close-up of the pelican. The drop of water on the feather above the beak really stands out. Very sharp and colorful, the new toy looks like it’s in the right hands.

TFS,
Werner

Hoi Hans.
Je bent de laatste vandaag. Morgen rij ik langs Emmen, misschien als ik zondag tijd heb ga ik er ook weer eens kijken. Is alweer 12 jaar geleden toen ik daar een groot project had.
Prachtige close up, verwonder mij over je iso setting.!!!
Maar het resultaat mag er zeker zijn.!
Komt in ieder geval de handscherpte ten goede.
Groeten van Jan

Incredible detail Hans you've captured this bird perfectly, well taken
