Brown Pelican
66 / 144

Brown Pelican

This frame is a pretty industry-standard headshot, but I couldn't pass on the opportunity given killer morning lighting. Closing down to f/8 rendered the beautifully-layered back feathers in focus, and I was really happy with the marbled blue background created by the ocean far below my cliffside vantage. Most never see the beak close-enough to appreciate the sharp hook at the end - check it out!

La Jolla, San Diego County, California, 2/12/20
Canon 600mm f/4 IS II on EOS 1DX Mark II
1/1250 at f/8, ISO 800
