Comment from Monica Morrell
What an amazing captured image. So well framed and with great clarity and spectacular detail. You certainly did capture his mood. I wouldn't want to mess with him. He looks very angry at you taking his photo. Kind of reminds me of an Uncle I just to have LOL
Great image and thank you for sharing Mr. Attitude!

Comment from Malmax
Wow what an incredible closeup of this Pelican. I'm amazed at the detail around its eyes and bill. Everything is so crystal clear and sharp.
It definitely looks like its staring you down. Absolutely
a beautiful capture and I love the background..it reminds me of feathers floating. Perfect! Very nicely done.

Excellent capture of this impressive American White Pelican with attitude - he certainly does seem to be giving you the eye! The dark background works very well. Very good lighting and focus showing a nice crisp image. Great composition. Suzanne

Comment from Arctic Artist
That's a good shot of that pelican! I miss seeing these birds. When we used to travel to visit my grandparents, sometimes we would go fishing in Florida. We would like to feed them sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing a great shot!! Very clear! :D

Comment from alaskapat
This is one that I have not seen before, very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear , your exposure is perfect, colors and tones are natural, the whites show excellent detail, nice detail in that beak , his face and his eye! Well placed in the frame, he comes forward from background. Very well presented and it was interesting to view!
