    Nice shot - sharp. You may want to do something about the unicorn horn out the top of his head. What lens was this at what mm? - TF

    OC, Here is a crop of his head from the same picture. By the way I just thought I would add that the first shot was a crop of the original and this is a closer crop of that. Didn't have much luck with the horn thing, Jeff

    I was using my Sigma 135-400mm APO lens and this was shot at 200mm. This lens does not have stabilization.

    Re: the proud pelican

    This is what the original looked at without any cropping, Jeff

    The pelican is lovely. What I learned in the Galapagos Islands is how pelicans become dive bombers hoping to capture fish in that huge beak. The fish seemed at a disadvantage.
