Pelicans always look "smug" and self assured, this guy particularly so.  A well captured fly by... Mike 

As always SO well captured!

Thanks Mr Mancil! LOL, yes he does look like Arnold Mr Universe. I guess when you got the muscular look it gives that projection.

Thanks Greg and Verena!

Both images of the pelican are wonderful , I like the sharpness and the details of the plumage, ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie Mille Giangiorgio!  The quality is good because they are almost fullsize images, the result of large bird flying too close and taken with a 2X. I wanted more room at the front but that's all I got  :-)
