| That's an awesome looking bird you've captured there. I'll add to the friendly constructive criticism crowd and suggest a bit noise reduction also. |

| If they're the same gender, they'll probably keep their distance. But for this one's sake, I hope they're different genders!! |

He's beautiful. White birds are just so photogenic aren't they? I love that pure water background.

| Never seen a pelican like that. Like how he is looking into the frame. |

oh he's pretty. I ownder why they have that crescent on their beaks? I like his reflection in the water...
you didn't ask, and I hope you don't mind, but I think I would crank the contrast here just a skosh, and down the gamma a notch or two to really make him pop, as this late winter sun seems to make everything look so bleached, as you will no doubt bote as I post more images of VT this time of year! :)

| Good find. I'd try playing with the curves a bit, or maybe mess with the shadow/highlights to bring out more details. |

Hi Jess, noticed from your profile that you're interested in constructive critism.
My first thought is 'this image needed a tripod'. Not sure if you have one and if you don't any other system to hold your camera steady is important I think.
I spent ages thinking I didn't need one, that I had the capacity to take tack sharp images by holding myself steady - but then thankfully realised I needed more support.

| Pelicans are such neat birds...they have fascinating mannerisms and body language. Good capture of this one swimming along! :) |
