Gary NordellI shot this photo of an American white pelican here in far Northern California. It was 12F at sunrise and the mist rising off the water created an ethereal atmosphere. #photography #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography
Golden Spiral Bot@GoldenSpiralBot thank you very much for this! I composed this in camera and it is uncropped. I got other shots but the “geometry” of this one struck and is one of the reasons I posted it. It is interesting now to see how the composition worked for me! Very cool observation❤️
Gerry Dorsey ✴️@garynordell that is an excellent photo. If you had posted it and not given the back story, I would have automatically supposed it was a really well done painting.
@hermitary Thank you so much, Gerry:) I would say that I strive for a “painterly” quality in my wildlife photographs through a combination of lighting and exposure. This image is fairly true to the RAW image with some fine tuning. Thank again for the comments!!

Tyler Mumford@garynordell That’s a *photo*?? Wow. 😲
@tylermumford thank you Tyler! I do strive for a painterly quality in my wildlife photos. The quality of the photo is result of the setting, the ambient light and exposure. It is minimally edited in Lightroom and I don’t use Photoshop. Thank again!!🙏
kcǃ@garynordell incredible shot 🤩
