A rare old bird is the pelican/ His beak can hold more than his belly can... Marty, I love the way that catodioptic lens isolates the subject so nicely... For my taste, though, I'd have cropped the top land mass out of the pic, and possibly a teeny bit from the right as well, keeping the upthrust branches framing the pelican. (As well as flaunting the cat lenses' signature circles of confusion.) I like the image, the framing, the technique, the exposure. It looked like a Mora image.
