Description
This pelican, perched on top of an old wooden post, seems to be taking a moment for itself, smoothing down its feathers with a kind of care that feels both methodical and soothing. It’s a regular part of its day, sure, but there’s something about the way the sun lights up its back and beak that turns this everyday act into something special.
I like the pose and the open bill. Good eye contact and Iike the angle of the shot with the clouds in the background. The feather detail looks good. It’s a large bird, so for me it feels a bit tight in the frame.
Nice pose Saundie. The preening pose is interesting with open beak as Allen mentions. You seem to have a knack for catching those clouds in the BG - well done. Overall sharpness looks good - well done for 1/160s - even though I think I notice some blur at the end of the beak - no big deal though. Perhaps a tad more room on the right. Nice image.
