    Default Preening on the water



    Gosh, now the the song smoke on the water is stuck in my head.
    After taking a bath, this Pelican started to preen while on the water. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated!

    I like the pose as well. For some reason, the eye doesn't look as sharp as the body of the bird. Where was your focus point?

    The low angle is great, where were you? In a blind, boat?

    TFS!

    Neat pose, good angle and BG. Maybe a bit tight in the frame?

    Like the interesting preening pose. Lighting is good too.
