A follow-up to the previous posting: the pelicans know there'll be a feed from the professional fishermen as they pull their nets in later!

Hope I didn't "overcook" it! Used Shadow/highlight adjustment, then a Grad ND & polarizer filter in Nik Color Efex Pro V3, finally re-sharpened.

Lightened up with PS shadow/highlight adjustment, lessened the color saturation, used a Nik Color Efex graduated neutral density filter: enjoy!

Taken from a different viewpoint, with more accent on the water reflections and a squarer format.

Shadow & highlight adjusted in PS, used the 'Graduated ND filter' effect in Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0, also some 'tonal contrast', noise reduction in Neat Image, and a final 'smart sharpen' in PS.
Feel free to remove if you wish!

Hello Jeanne,
Nice 'spur of the moment' shot! I couldn't resist doing some 'tweaking' in PS and Nik Color Efex Pro, as below:
Tonal contrast and Grad ND filter effect in Nik Color Efex, rotate image to straighten the horizon & remove lens distortion in PS, some noise reduction in Neat Image, and a final 'smart sharpen' in PS - then add a frame, and 'Save for Web' at max. file size permissible. Hope you like it!
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Clark,
Here's my two bob's worth - VERY different from Nelu's, which personally did zilch for me! I think lighting up the foreground, and the image as a whole, gives much more interest to your composition, which for me anyway has some very good elements and symmetry: try downloading that trial of Nik Color Efex Pro - you'll be amazed, I know,
Best wishes,
Jeff
