I always like pelican shots, they always look slightly out of control and comical. Nicely done, Carol, I like the bw work on this guy!

There are pelicans and there are pelicans -- this one is special because of how you relate it to its context. The shimmering reflections in the water echo the energy of its feathered wings.

No way! So dramatic and dynamic and excellently symmetric.

What an awesome, and natural composition. You've shown there is both randomness and patterns in nature.

Great catch for you and the pelican; not so great for the fish!

A stunning display - the angles and lines create such a wonderful graphic tension.
