Hi. That is an unusual wing position and I really like the incoming pov. My only wish that it didn't look so static and centered in the frame.

Sharpness and exposure look good. Did he land on your head? :) I would run NR on the BG.

Nice pelican Mital. I don't mind the bird been centered, I also suggest some NR on BG and dust bunnies removal.
