Classic pelican flight image, which I like. Adding a touch of room above, and removing the white spot on the throat, would help IMO. All else looks OK to me.

Well focused and I like the pose, i would have gone for f8 given the lighting. The image looks rather cyan to me.

Hi Dan and Jon, thank you for viewing and commenting. Here is an edit and repost, white spot fixed and WB changed back to As Shot.

Pelican looks much better (still unsure about the sea but you have much more vivid colours over there than we do - perhaps I am just jealous!)
