Now this is an opportunity shot if I ever did see one. Great capture and fitting for this challenge.

I wonder if the pelicans actually follow the rules. After a second of thought, never mind...

Obviously the sign was made for pelicans... not for people.

Better if the sign was visible.

Did you vote for them!?

Can the pelicans really read that...or is that why they get both sides. O ;ole tje giu om tje ,odd;e. Looks like he has arms

Funny and fun. Wish the sign were better lit - those shadows are distracting. Wish you could have gotten in closer so you didn't need to crop and lose resolution.

LOL! That's great! Where is this located? Just wish there wasn't as many shadows and that the photo was just a tad bigger. Good capture.

would be more effective without the pelican's head cutting off part of the sign, but that's the spontaneity of nature ..

Great expressions on those pelicans. They seem to be hogging all the space and leaving nothing for the people.

Ha -- that's a bizarre scene!

Photograph may be a bit overexposed, but it's a great catch and a very funny sign. 9

I think this is an excellent sign shot... I also think it would have more impact if you used a larger photo. Smaller images tend to not do as well. This is definitely interesting though :) Nice work!

can they read?

Nice shot, shame it wasn't bigger.
