Noelle:
Classic brown pelican pose, love the hair do.
The light angle was off to your right a bit, which gives him some nice modeling, rounds him out a bit.
I was surprised to see some noise in the background at this ISO. Perhaps it was a bit underexposed to protect the whites, and brought up enough in post to induce some noise?
Cheers

Hi Noella, Beautiful pelican while I am a big fan of unconventional crops this one is not working for me as I feel the image is off balance with more space needed on the left. Because of the angle of the ground when looking at the image I keep thinking that pelican is going to fall out of the frame to the left.

Wonderful colors and detail!
Agree about more space on the left and maybe a bit more at the bottom as well.
I have to agree with Don, the framing isn't working for me. I think perhaps its cropped too tight.
Very nice image Noelle. Great light, color, BG, sharp detail, eye contact, & nice close eye level shot. This one seems very happy and content! Looking forward to seeing more. (I need to work on shooting in softer light)
