I am really enjoying these pelicans - I've never seen a real one. Quite amazing how they can preen with the beak. :) Lovely detail.

Neil,

In addition to the above comments I love the 3-D triagle the bird, bill, and neck make.

Excellent photo. :)

I love the tuft of hair - it sets it apart from other preening shots.
