i think this was not the object of the challenge

Maybe centered composition is making you get lower position, try 1/3 rule so bird is left-down, I think it will look more appealing. 7

pelican? got to check my bird book

The Bird and boat seem blend together. So the impact is lost

Too bad the pelican isn't more clearly visible...
 09/19/2004 02:17:22 PM
I really think it's a Heron

Oh what a funny shot!

So, is the subject a "blue crane" or a sport? If it was the "crane" (where did you get Pelican?) then I would have cropped differently. If it was a sport - I probably would have tried to concentrate on the boats without the crane, or maybe even waited until some rowers arrived and scared the crane away. Nice focus and reflection though. Good luck in the challenge.

Cool photo! That is the strangest looking Pelican I have ever seen.

for me this does not meet the challenge.. it's just a bird photo not a sports photo

Voted this low because there was no action.
 09/16/2004 12:08:02 PM
poor composition and it's not a pelican... It's a great blue heron

Interesting slant on the challenge. However, I just couldn't make myself give the same scores to the still shots and the action shots. I felt the action shots demonstrated a higher skill level and therefore deserved a higher score.

Is that a pelican?
 09/15/2004 01:11:02 PM
this is a team sport challenge?
 09/15/2004 05:04:20 AM
Pelican?????

I think it's a Heron. Great nature shot.
