This Pelican is a Florida bird, taken in March of this year. I cropped it just a little for composition, used curves, sharpened the eye and smartsharpened after resizing. I wish he had banked a little more but all in all I think it's one of my better efforts. C&C appreciated.

.... and a good one it was Katie !!! Remember that bird !!!
As you say a slight bank would have been great but I like it as presented. Love the prominent eye contact and slight head turn. You are showing the back side which by far is the best for them plus a good hanging pose. Exposure is perfect and very sharp !!! Love it !!!
