Good job on the background, but what's that all over the pelican???

Yep the background is nicely done, but having the B.G superimposed over the pelican is not working for me, maybe having it in its original form.

It's houses! My image is a fantasy and in it the pelican is blending into its surroundings.

Back to realistic image! I hope it is better!

wow! this image is awesome!~

It’s a much more appealing image with a realistic pelican!!

So different from the rest. Love it. I love how you went vertical, and the colors are great! Good job, author.

Nice...

Vertical is great. IMO more pelican conrtast (given the title) is needed , however, to make it truly the focus

Good image.

Congrats on the first place! Great image.

this is nice, I like it,... BTW how about making the edge of the waterfall lil bit whiter to show the transition between the waterfall and the water before it so make them well blended,.....good luck

Like this one, nice blending, and the composition still works. Nice!

i really loved this one...

Fantastic work author...best of luck

It will much better if you just use 4/5 the height of that picture because the composition will be nicer if you push the girl higher, so she has a part on the river area. This can reduce the unnecessary space in the middle of the image, which is quite distracting and it takes time to roll down to the main focus of the image. Otherwise, that's a good blending work. Good luck

Good blend.

Congrats for 3rd
