I am not sure about this one Joe.
I like the way the wing is dragging in the water but find the light quite harsh.
The waves of the water are more like ripples and I find myself wishing for real big waves or very still calm water.

It's different, that's for sure. I think this is one of those types of images that would look better viewed huge rather than online. With the subject small in the frame I could see it placed a bit more in the ULC, but you have the right idea.

Well captured small in frame, Joseph. I love the highly polished metal look of the water, especially the swell under the pelican. Nice touch of the wing tip.
