Darlene - Good catch on the action. A little more room on the left would have been nice to have but it looks like you made the right choice by saving the water trail. Very NiceShot!

Very cool behavior. Ed makes a good comment about the comp choice. If this is full frame, I might consider cropping the left side and top to get tighter on the head, bill and water trail. A bit more contrast and saturation would give it some pop too. The colors look a bit flat.

Great catch of a decisive moment. Agree with Mikes suggestions. I like that water trail!

Great stuff Darlene, when we went out on the Gulf I don't think I saw on Pelican catch a fish in all the trips they made out there.

Very nice, tack sharp. Mike makes some very good suggestions for improving an already excellent image.
