Thank you all for your comments and favs! This was a favorite from my pelican series taken on the Oceanside Pier Photowalk with 365ers Elizabeth, Joe, and Taffy. As Sebastian says, this angle shortens how you perceive the beak, but it was LONG and menacing sticking right into my face/camera! I had the aperture set on f/32 and with the eyes in focus, it still didn't cover the front of the beak. I had no idea pelicans had such personality and could be such fun to photograph, but we all had a memorable time photographing them! As to who won the stare down? Well, let's just say the pelican was still staring at me when I decided to move on and photograph the other pelicans.

Great capture. It seems that pelican is interested in what is going on in front of him ;)
December 12th, 2015  
How many can claim this? How very cool!

Wonderful capture. I must say I am jealous of all of your adventures with Taffy and other photographers.
