A very nicely composed shot with fine colors and great detail in his plumage and especially his eye. I kind of miss his buddy in the background though.

this is a great close up of the pelican, I like the pin sharp detail on the bird, great exposure, I like the alternative angle you have used the bird stands out well against the blurred background, well framed for maximum impact. great thanks for sharing.
