David, this is really a nice portrait, in my opinion. Wonderful light and details. His pose is pretty special too.

A wonderful closeup view! Glad you did not have to use a macro lens to get it!

David, the lighting does a great job of showing off the colors and details. I like how this crop focuses on the eye, the yellow feathers and the red pouch.

Stunning portrait, David. The clarity, colors and composition are truly outstanding.

The close in crop here is excellent. Well done, David

Hi David,

I like how you captured “the look” from this pelican. The grooves in the pouch and other details are fantastic. Well done…Jim

As someone else said, the eye is what sells this for me. Nice lighting and the background adds nicely to the framing.

Wonderful!!! The crop is so interesting with amazing detail, and the close framing really lets the eye stand out.
