Good detail on the feathers; focus is a little soft on the faces. (voted earlier)

I like how they are zig zagged, filling the frame. :)

I like the dark background because it really makes the pelicans stand out quite a bit.

Well done! I love the black background making the colors pop!

You really need to calibrate your monitor; I can see numerous blotches where you have burned out distracting BG elements along the right edge. It looks like you think your BG is black, and it's not; it's more like Zone 3 1/2 or Zone 4 gray, where Zone 3 would be "almost black"... PM is OK if you want to discuss, not voting on this image.
