Brown Pelican, La Jolla Cove, La Jolla, California

There is a large colony of brown pelicans in San Diego. Every year,

in January, their plumage comes alive with some vibrant colors. This

is one of my favorite shots when I was fortunate enough to get close

to one of these birds to notice their beauty. This was shot with

Fuji Velvia on a Gitzo tripod, just after sunrise at the La Jolla

Cove (Children's Pool).

Very good photo. But IMO, you should have cropped that blurred brown part, on the bottom. It doesn't add anything to the picture. Nevertheless, very nice indeed.
