American White Pelican

[Jim Crosswell]

I took this image at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. I cloned out a pelican above and behind this one. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Very nice capture of this barefoot waterskiing marvel. Wing spread, sharpness and placement in the frame are all good. A very nice image. Jim, your trip to Florida was certainly a productive one, good job on all the shots you've produced from that trip.

Excellent comp and perfect timing, Jim. The pose is excellent with one left in mid-stride and the splash behind. Very nicely done Jim.

Hi Jim, well timed for the incoming landing, good 'skiing' action, with a good show of the wings. No notice of removing the other pelicans, and I like the pano comp.

Perfect timing and exposure control. Love the dynamic incomming landing pose.
