[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
PP is a radial blur around the eye.
Pelicans have two eye lids on each side: A transparent one that moves from front to back, maybe to absorb the shock of water when they splash.
I presume they can see thier prey through it . The other, opaque like ours, moves vertically down, and I saw it closed for the nap.

Neat effect! Very strong image! Well done!

Hey Robert,
What dramatic feathers with saturated colours.
Question--I know you said that PP is a radial blur around the eyes but I am thinking you blurred the feathers also?
A really strong,impactful image.

Bonjour Robert
Excellente capture de cet œil de pélican a l'aspect étrangement humain et parfaitement mis en valeur par le flou radial de ton PP. Le résultat est graphiquement réussi et notre regard irrémédiablement attiré vers cet œil qui nous regarde fixement. Superbe.
Amicalement
Antoine

Wonderful effect caused by the radial blur Robert and great focus on the eye itself. Good colour and fine detail. TFS,
David

bien pensé et réalisé mon ami,j'aime bien
