I found a group of Dalmatian Pelicans at Galikos River estuaries near Thessaloniki. They are easier to find at lake Kerkini or the Prespes lakes but during winter they can be found in other wetlands of Greece as well. I spend some time with these three resting guys and they didn't seem to bother at all.

Extraordinary detail showing on the plumage, and i like the eye contact with all three birds, a bit more separation may of been nicer. Looks like cold and difficult conditions but handled quite well considering
Interesting image, and I like it. I am glad you used F11 to get all 3 pelicans in focus. I think the color of the water, rock and birds all work well together and the pop of orange really adds a nice pop. In a perfect world, I wish all 3 heads were separate.
