The kid looking at the bird was what really made it for me in this shot. So real! Love it.

Lovely interaction shot. The child is inquisitive but non-committal :) The Pelican is wary but non-plussed. Great seaside candid.

I love all the elements of this photo. I just wish the kid and the bird weren't so far into the corners - it makes them feel disconnected to me.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: What a delight this is. Convincing portrait, candid street and wildlife shot all rolled into one. Fabulous. The perspective of the railing offers a sense of depth to the image as does the distant horizon. The look on the child's face is fantastic as is the pelican's wary glance to us, the viewer.

Critical stuff: Nope.

Overall: A brilliant image.
