I like the perspective/angle on #1
make that bill look so wierd/cool

the others seem a little tight, need a little wiggle room IMHO

Excellent set of very photogenic birds, Jack.

The Brown Pelican is my pick.

Thanks Benjamin. The crops are tight for several reasons:


1. To eliminate other oblects/bird parts from the image
2. In the cases of vertical tightness, I should have held the camera for portrait.

Here's the original of the wood stork with no PP except changing ppi from 240 to 72

Nice series! I like #2 the best--really nice detail and the bird's expression looks quite mischievous!

Thanks very much Ric. The BP is indeed a beautiful bird.
