Beautiful sunrise..Nov 7 th with friends..

This pic started out as an empty waterscape at dawn, with a beautiful sky..I added the pelican silhouettes by layering..The pelicans were cropped out of another image I shot, from the same sunrise batch..

This was an exceptionally beautiful dawn and sunrise..The pelicans were everywhere..I set my camera to try to catch pelicans in flight and also close up..The whole day was fun and unique and chock full of photo ops..In looking at my camera's live view, I thought that I was doing okay, shooting clear pictures with good light..It was only after I got home and uploaded this 700+ batch of images, when I realized that only two or three images were good..The rest were blurry or severely over exposed..I was able to save some of the pelican silhouettes I captured by cropping some RAWs to use as overlays..
