Perfect timing to catch that wing spread and nice details on his feathers and color.

You caught the pelican in a great pose Tigs - such a beautiful bird, but then, I'm partial when it comes to our feathered friends - those stats are amazing - he has quite a nice lifespan - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!!!

Typical male pelican showing off. They do that often just for that purpose. Very nice shot.

Sandi, I suppose that it has seen you with your camera, else it would already have flown away, ☺ .
It's more probable however that this splendid capture is another proof of your skills and perfectly feel for timing. Thanks for sharing this capture, my friend!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

That is one big bird! The capture exposes the largeness by perfect timing getting the wing spread out.
