Reminds me of the scene in "The Karate Kid" where he is standing on the pole and kicking. . . . Good capture.

composition is not great.
the subject seems to be a bit too centered, I would have liked to see more space in front of the bird. there is a very harsh line that cuts the picture in half and does not add to a composition. taking the picture from a lower angle thus having more sky might have been an option, or alternatively, taking picture from a higher point you could have eliminated most of the sky, making the background more pleasing. Using larger apertures (if it is an option) the background could have been blurred, which makes it more pleasing as well.

Gerald sat on the rooftop and danced a happy dance. He called out in glee. He yelled to the world his happiness.

She had accepted! She was to be his bride!

Another dance, another call of pure joy, and then off he flew. It was the best day of his life.

Cool shot ! I love the pelican's pose. Wish he was in a slightly different position with more blue sky behind him. 7

A Self-actualized Pelican! They're quite rare, I understand ;-) Love the detail, though those spiky bits look like they'd be really hard on his feet.
