That's an interesting photograph and a really good looking one too!
That creature's parasites ( Duck Lice and similar 'bugs' ! ) must be driving it crazy! : D

A pretty good nature photo posted here! Your fine and central composition captures a good and enjoyable view of your Pelican. Like the impressive feather detail. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

This is beautiful bird photography.You have timed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the pelican pruning herself very well. Good luck!

Awesome initial impression - you really got the perfect second having him so specially twisted to find his sport - super close up, clear and sharp - excellent exposure and perfectly framed
this shot makes me smile as it shows what all they can do with their long neck - I think this picture has perfect color saturation , contrast and lighting - a very attractive would life picture,

It is amazing what they can do with those long bills (beaks?). Thank you very much for the super review. And the six stars!! Very special to me! Thanks again.

You are most welcome, a really good shot

A very nice action shot. The exposure is very good with nice detail in the white feathers. Great colors and sharp details should make this one tough to beat. Best of luck in the voting.

Amusing shot as this pelican seems to be standing on his head to scratch the itch. Good clear focus with a lot of visible detail. Nice composition. Good colors. Good background. Well taken.

Focus and camera settings were spot on for this photo. The structure, the clarity and the details are well done. Color and white balance also are very good.
