It's great to be warm in San Diego. This California Brown Pelican was photographed with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. Evaluative metering +1 1/3 stop: 1/160 sec. at f/13.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

Safe travels,

Excellent job Artie. Perfect eye contact with both eyes. Excellent details too.
I am not the guy that usually goes "wow.. ahhh" easily, but I have to say that I have loved this shot, it is very powerfull, and the level of detail, light, and colors are IMO amazing. Big congratas Artie! Wow! :D
Beautiful. So I presume conditions are favorable for photographers at La Jolla this year?
Colors and detail are great. Presentation is outstanding! TFS

I like it - and the F13 was well chosen..
A very nice shot Artie, I love the straight on stare and detail captured. The comp is working as well, for some reason I keep looking back to the red pouch though which takes away my attention from the stare......As such I am wondering if a more symmetric shot with no pouch showing would be better. Thanks for showing!
Well done Maestro! I like the intensity here. Good comp too. Centering works well. :)
Excellent image Art, I like the rule of thirds with the eyes and the stare is great, Exposure looks spot on. Ron
Great stare he looks like a mean fellow and wants to attack:D
Graphic lines and simply a fun image to view.
Artie, I find it quite amazing how you find newer compositions of subjects you have shot tons of times before. loved the crop and the details a lot. The compression created by the long focal length( what I am saying is that the beak is sloping towards the camera but it appears to be in the same plane as the eyes) makes this image very special.
Really a great composition Artie I really like the stare. Well Done!
Hope your head and camera cleaned up nicely. I didn't know that was a sign of good luck, but I sure hope it's true!
Great pose with good color and detail. To my eyes, the eyes could use more sharpening.
Quite excellent right now. The majority of the birds are a week or two away from prime color but I have been seeing a few more killer birds each day.Quote:

"Here's lookin at you" Nice composition. Here is where you want your subject centered.
