This brown pelican, in breeding plumage, was grooming itself at La Jolla cliffs in mid-January. It was one of the few days that we were there that it didn't rain!
See my beautiful feathers!

Very interesting pose, just a bit tight in the frame. The head could use some selective sharpening. Could you post some techs?
Hi Patricia !!! Rain and cliffs don't mix very well sure gets slippery down there !!!! Agree with Axel I like the goofy look very much Those colors are very sweet !!! I can close my eyes and hear the sealions !!!!
I love the eye contact, although it seems a little high in contrast from here.
The pose is very cool, but for me the crop is a little tight

As suggested, I opened the frame and sharpened the head a little. The details are as follows: 1D Mark II, 100-400mm at 375mm, 1/1250 sec, f/7.1, ISO 400, manual mode.
The sharpened head and extra room improves the image a lot. Plenty of detail in both the lighter and darker colours. I like the light blue BG.
