Good one, Joe. Exquisite detail on eye and bill, and great classic Pelican comp. I might have been tempted to lighten the iris just a tad, but otherwise no nits.

A lovely image with baby room colours. I would be very pleased to have made this image.

Very nicely done with lots of good detail, controlled exposure, and almost-tight but well balanced composition. I love the pale blues of the water in the BG. Very appealing portrait.

Excellent portrait.
