Just your basic bird on a stick, well actually a piling. After Hurricane Ike destroyed it, the Texas City Dike was closed for 2 years. I missed its avian photography, and have been making up for it the last 2 months. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

I love Pelicans. Even a bit of error will spoil their image. But you have done a superb job in perfectly exposing the bird Sir. Love the pose

I love how we can see its weight pressing down on the piling. Good exposure and details, excellent texture captured on the plumage. Perhaps a bit tight left and above...
