An eye-level, medium shot depicts a brown pelican floating in water. The pelican is positioned in the center, and the background consists of rippled water reflections. The pelican has mostly grayish-brown feathers with white plumage on its head and neck; the feathers on its head are slightly ruffled. It has a black beak outlined in brown, a black mask around its eye, and the beak is resting on or breaking the surface of the water. Its body is mostly displayed, with its wings tucked close to its body. The water is a mix of blues and greens due to the surface ripples and reflections; near the bird, where the water is calmer, gold colors and some dark patches are reflected. The water is rippled. The lighting is bright and reflects off the feathers, enhancing the details and textures.
