Same photo, three crops.
I like the first post but have included two additional crops.

Technical Details

Is this a composite: No
iso 500, 400 no extender, f5, 2000th, handheld.

All three are spectacular, David. I do prefer the first crop for the composition, with the body in the LRC leading my eyes into the image and his amazing beak point back down again. Great detail and colors. Love the expression on his face. Nicely done.

Hi David
Have to love Pelicans. I agree with Linda on your work in this series of shots, vary nice work.

The third doesn’t do much for me, David, but I like both the first and the second with #1 a marginal favorite. I’d probably go with a vertical but a bit more on both sides, but that’s just my taste. Superb detail.
