The light on the bird is beautiful! Love how it is posing for you.

I have taken a lot of pelican shots over the years but never been able to get the realism and drama you have captured witht this one. Beautifully done..hope you fare well with a ribbon! 9

Finding Nemo. This one and the other pelican shot are too funny!
01/27/2010 06:36:19 PM
Extraordinarily well composed, especially considering the pelican's actually alive......8
01/27/2010 05:36:16 PM
I just love the peli's! 8

Unreal. Love the way this bird really dominates the pic not only in filling the frame but also dwarfing the boats and background. Im the boss here. Love it. 8

Before I scrolled down it looked as if the pelican was standing atop a boat! Awesome texture on it's feathers
01/26/2010 10:39:54 PM
Wonderful perspective and dof!
01/26/2010 09:27:45 PM
Nice shot. I've never had the opportunity to photograph a pelican before.
01/25/2010 09:06:56 PM
this makes me smile...it looks like the pelican has a mini lunch of some boats...they are there for his/her picking...excellent detail and super good clarity
01/25/2010 09:02:57 PM
A really nice image! I really like the sharpness of the feathers.

very dynamic
01/25/2010 10:28:12 AM
just awesome!!

A very fine looking pelican and quite richly displayed in its natural environment!
01/24/2010 11:58:13 AM
Gosh, yet another fabulous Pelican shot in this challenge. Great textural detail. If I could change the perspective, those boats behind the pylon might be less of a distraction,but the bird is terrific.

Fantastic capture.
01/23/2010 08:28:03 PM
Nice capture, good focus. I'd like a bit more area to the left for the bird to "look into."
01/23/2010 05:53:07 PM
Brilliant shot, great detail and colour.
01/23/2010 04:08:19 PM
They are just something else these birds and you've got them down! Well done.
01/23/2010 02:59:08 PM
Very cool detail on the pelican, I like the colours too.
01/23/2010 10:24:55 AM
I think a shallower DOF would have helped.
01/23/2010 01:06:17 AM
Nice shot. I feel the burn is a bit heavy handed.
01/22/2010 11:23:29 AM
wow... awesome details here... i like the composition very very much, and i like your editing work, great photograph=high score! :-)
