White Pelican Close Up - S.W Florida

Hello,

This close up from few months back. 2 feet in water.

Hope you like it.

Canon 40D, 400mm L @ f/8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, Manual Exposure, RAW, Handheld, Almost Full Frame.

Thank you.

A beautiful portrait indeed.

Those hair-looking feathers on the head makes this guy look kinda ''cool''
Great job on the whites.

My only suggestion would be to remove the smallest cachtlight, but that's just my preference.

HI Maxis

Like to composition and the soft, gentle contrast in the BG. Congrats. Is that blob under the bill a reflection of the tip? I would have thought that more reflection would be visible. :) COuld be the ripple though.

Thanks for posting.

Excellent exposure Maxis, and this is super sharp. Maybe a bit tight at the bottom.

Hi Maxis!

Just dripping with details! Also agree with the double catchlight.
