HOW many images will be named this exact same title? Not puzzling at all... almost ALL of the ones where the animal is looking at the camera.

Oh. Sorry. I was ranting. *sigh*

Now on to the stuff that matters: I'd really like to have a closer crop on the bird... and I need to see his eye(s). With an Advanced Editing challenge some dodging/burning or shadow/highlights could be used.

Also, I'd have cropped the image a bit more... so the bird is not looking "out of the image" but into it. IE: more off the left and a bit off the top to get him in the left third of the image.

But, that's just my opinion. And every voter has one. *grin* I hope you do well.

I always think of Percy and Shez when I see pelicans now. I love the soft backdrop of the city in the background.

Sorry, as far as I'm concerned none of the many "What are you looking at?" animal photos meet the challenge. At least yours is in focus.
