A very nicely cropped photo. It's almost humourous.
He does look mean too!
I hope your friend is ok.

POV is just a touch high, but this is a wonderful capture. Glad he pecked your buddy instead of you!

Pretty light and the off center subject is great. Welcome to TN!

Hey Attila,

Wonderful shot. Well done. A few tips if you don't mind. Maybe next time try bending down to the bird's level. Perhaps take the shot at knee level. That would have given you a wonderful blur in the background, and a better POV. Also on a shot like this, maybe open your apperture a bit to f5.6 or even f4 as this will give you even more blur, and a faster shutter speed. But well done, I will look for more from you

I kind of enjoy your POV on this shot. I think it is because you shot him from up high that makes him look so squat, giving this picture such a comical flavor. I think the brown pelicans are some of the funniest birds. Good details and composition. Well done and TFS. : )
