Very nice portrait, Neil. You've done an excellent job on the exposure and in obtaining enough DOF to keep both birds sharp. I like how the birds bodies are facing each other but the heads are parallel.

Your west coast pelicans sure dress better than our florida bums. Great shot

Two for the price of one and both heads on the same plane. Good catch.

What a gorgeous couple, so very dignified. I love this! The parallel beaks create a great symmetry.

An excellent double-header, Neil. DOF is ideal but I'm surprised that f14 did it.

Nice couple and not easy to do at La Jolla. I like the curled up feathers on the far one.
