Brown Pelican

Captured at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. I think this guy is losing its breeding plumage, but still looks very nice. Comments and suggestions appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Lovely exposure, details and colors. I like the profile but I wish for a little more room in front.

Very beautiful portrait with excellent detail and a lovely BG. I personally like it as posted.

I like the composition, colors and details. Maybe a bit NR on the BG. I'm surprised there is any noise at this ISO. Did you sharpen the entire image?

[Raymond Barlow]
