Comment from Linda Engel
A terrific capture in sharp, clear,focus. Love the way the feathers look wing blown. Great artist notes about the bump on its beak.
Good reflection in the water and good lighting, too. I wonderful shot and well framed.

Grace,
A beautiful picture of this White Pelican the sunlight hilighting it's glowing white plumage & dancing of the surface of the water on which it's reflected. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from TBI John
It's such a cool animal , he's a beast with the nine foot wingspan .
So you wouldn't lose bump early which would make me nervous . No bump , yeah that guy isn't available .
It's a very cool piece and thank you .

Excellent capture, Grace, showing this beautiful American White Pelican with his wings ruffled by the wind. Thank you for your notes with this - amazing 9ft wingspan. Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely crisp image. Great composition. Suzanne

Outstanding capture of this white pelican that really has a beautiful wind blown look.
The clarity and detail are great and the colors are gorgeous. I love the subtle reflection of it in the water.
A beautiful and well taken shot of this lovely bird.

Hi Envision, Love the ruffled pelican against the blue waters. I think it makes a stunning shot. The lighting is perfect for both the water and the pelican. The focus shows off every ruffled feather, Very Cool! :o) Helvi

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
I'm curious how that bump looks like...

Interesting info notes as we don't have these birds here...

Pin sharp focusing.
Bright lighting.
Nice framing.

Exquisite image.
Impeccable presentation.
Dark blue contrasting backdrop pops out white subject prominently!

Oversized golden bill adds a radiant touch of vibrant color.
Good perspective & long depth of field...

Thanks for sharing...
