I love the minimalistic approach here, beautiful color palette. I'm wondering if the pelican could use a little more contrast mainly on the head and bill - just a thought - overall this is a very appealing image - thanks for sharing.

I like it, Sandy. The white bird works with the high key bg, and the tint of the water is appealing.
