A white pelican comes in for a splashdown. Yes, the photo has technical issues but I thought it was a fun pose. 450mm handheld, 1/2000, f9, ISO 400.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I wish it were not such a grab shot but sometimes that’s all you get. This was handheld at 450mm and literally a “see, point, and shoot” situation. Topaz Sharpen helped get it to a somewhat usable level of sharpness and it is very heavily cropped. Ironically, I had spent an hour just down the road with the camera on a gimbal/tripod rig but the pelicans wouldn’t cooperate. I moved and was about to set up when this guy appeared. I’ll be going back to the lake to try for more soon, I hope!
