From a high angle, a pelican stands on a weathered wooden dock, with turquoise water behind it. The pelican faces towards the upper part of the image, where its head and neck are tilted back, seeming inquisitive. The pelican has a light-yellow head with a dark patch of feathers around its eye, which is a deep shade of gold. Its beak is long and gray with dark-gray streaks. There is a small streak of red-orange at the very tip of the upper part of its beak. The feathering on the upper chest and neck is a blend of brown and white. The feathers on its body are a rich and mottled brown. The pelican's webbed feet are dark gray and stand on the dock. The dock is fashioned from worn wooden planks of varying shades of light yellow and blond. Diagonal lines mark the water with the suggestion of the wind blowing on the surface. The background water has a striking color, with shades of blue and green. The light is bright and evenly distributed, giving clarity to every element in the image.
