Composition emphasizes the length of the pelican's beak, but I feel it's cropped/framed a bit too close for my tastes--I'd widen it up a bit.

really emotive image considering the model cant convey emotions with great ease.

Good colors, and I do like how his head/beak fill the frame, but it feels a bit tight (left to right) to me overall. Maybe a tighter crop top and bottom would help it feel "wider."

Sharpness is good on the feathers but the eyes/face need a bit more. The image seems to lack contrast and could use a bit of a boost in saturation, IMHO. Good composition; I'd crop a bit from the top. Nice find. :)
