I love the look of his white feathers against the blue water background. Very good focus on his face and feathers. Excellent notes, as always!

I see the horn on the beak. I guess its for protection in fights with others. You captured good detail. All the white feathers of the bird are also well defined. I like how they are fluffed up. The colors are excellently natural. The blue water emphasizes the bird nicely. The reflections in the water are intriguing. The Pelican is well placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful bird that I have only seen in Florida. I always wondered about the lump on their bills. A fine exposure for the white feathers and beautiful colors.

a wonderful capture Grace of this funny looking pelican; I like his feathers blown in the Wind like on a bad hairday;
outstanding sharp details with excellent control of exposure for the white;

Comment from Charlie Newman


Very sharply focused photo. The white balance is excellent. In conjunction with the focus brings out the details of the feathers beautifully. I have only seen these pelicans in FL once, and they sure are bigger than the native ones. Nicely done, Grace.

Great capture and angle of view of where you took this. Really like the ripples in the water. Makes the Pelican stand out. Nice composition and framed very well. Clarity is excellent. Thanks for sharing

What a cutie - you must live in a wonderful natural environment with so many birds of all kind
nice composition - technically excellent in all detail's -
I love the feathers standing in all directions as that is the special point in this shot - normally they are well arranged but seems he did not wanted to do his morning toilet loll - a cute one

Grace,
A beautiful picture of this American White Pelican with the projection on it's long beak. It feathers blown about in the breeze & it's bonus reflection seen on the glistening water. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
