I like the water droplets and the fact that the wings are not fully extended allowing me to capture the entire bird with sufficient detail. I hope you like it too. Thanks for looking.

Great image. It is different than most flying pelican images which is why I like it. Very cool flight pose.

Robateau, Very nice shot. Background is excellent. Nice detail. Maybe a tad more space at the top?

Great head turn and eye contact, and I like that you captured the pelican high in the frame to avoid its merger with the waterline.

I like the pose and the slight head turn adds to it.
