Great close up shot, superb details.

This is a nice portrait Stefan. One has to love these birds. I like the close crop. It is nice to see all the feather and beak details. The image has strong impact, a nice simple composition and is technically well executed.

Hello Stefan
Sharp and extremely well exposed. It's difficult to capture all the detail with a subject as light colored as this. The colors on the bill are amazing. Well done.

Hi Stefan

This is an exceptional great close-up shot of a pelican. I just love the brilliant details you've captured, especially of the beak.

The tight cropped composition worked well for this "almost" portrait shot. Although there is some slight OE on the brighter parts of the plumage I still believe that you managed rather well to control the exposure and to capture sufficient details of the face, head, neck, and those body parts that do show. The colours are splendid and the dark water surface makes the bird stand out well against the BG.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Stefan

A nicely composed shot making the bill the focus of the shot - well framed, leading to the eye which is likewise in very good focus. You have handled the exposure well, caturing the pinky tones in the feathers.

Hi, Stefan.
Nice portrait and light. Very good sharpness, details and colors. Peaceful dark BG.

Great close-up of this Pelican's front portion, Stefan.
The beak is truly gargantuan in size with perfect details and colours on it.
Well done and TFS.
