| Thanks everyone who voted. Special thanks to those who took the time to comment. Most either loved the center comp, square crop or hated it. I'm not a big fan of center comps myself but I experimented with everything imaginable before submitting and it just seemed to look better for this particular shot. Thanks again. |

| I love the attitude in this shot, and when I then read your title I laughed - very appropriate. The composition is good and the simple blue background works really well to keep the focus on the bird. Well done! |

This really is a lovely image. The clenaness form the still water tot he sharp focus. It's like the bird floated right up to you for the picture.
Nice job.

| Great capture of the birds eyes on this photo. The composition seems rather harshly centered, the square crop doesn't help this any. |

| I don't know why but I love this. I like the almost straight on view of the long beak and beady eyes. Nice! 8 |

| Ya don't often see the pelican from the front-on angle in a photo. Definitely a unique pose - and one that works well here. Beautiful reflection too (although I'd love to see more of it). Great focus and color. 9 |

| great shot! WOW! love the smoothness of the water and the sharpness...probably would have likes a little less crop on the bottom, but shots like this just happen and you can't do mauch...love the colour and contrast...this should do well |

| what if you cropped in on each side leaving a more vertical format enhancing the height of the pelican? and length of its beak? -8- |

| 7 - Very nice. Criticism; the reflection included is another shot again so won't 'go there'. The pose and eyes are very good in this, like your title too. Really only the 'blown'/overexposed parts on the head/crown, some of the beak/bill and the eye. Perhaps a little sharper, but difficult. Like the composition and 640 x 640. |
