Wow! This made my hair stand! Excellent capture! It looks like a broken beak? Or is there something on it? #8027884Richard M. Waas October 12, 2009
There is some sort of growth on the pelican's beak. Not sure what it is, but sure attracts the eye..... #8030262Nancyj E. Hovey November 23, 2009

My goodness, Richard -- I would have said DD for sure. How strange. The light, detail and color are great -- congratulations on the finalist. #8168473Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
