Joe:

I like the way you have the wings working the diagonal of the frame, his slight angle towards us, exposure , dof , sharpness.

Cheers

Joe I can't see to many photographs of these birds even though I do think they have a prehistoric look about them, looks like you caught this one spot on Joe.

Very nice flight shot.
The diagonal makes for a strong image IMO.
Well done Joe.

Classic pelican gliding against the ocean pose. I love it, and especially the slight bank it gave you here.
