    I love this.
    Terrific low POV and the full extension wing position is perfect. Love the feet dragging along the water.
    Lovely BG that give a good sense of the environment without taking away from the pelican.
    Tack sharp, exposure excellent and good comp.
    No nits from me!

    Great take off pose and thats a superb wing position. Nice to have background interest, and theres just enough separation from the BG to keep it from getting distracting,

    Nice looking take off shot of this big bomber. The exposure and details look good and I like the fact that it's a big male. Well done

    A float tube is probably one of the most under utilised photo platforms, yet one of the best methods to get close to water birds! Well done on a real cracker of a shot.

    Your low angle shooting this is what makes it work so well. Love that wing position. Glad you have the feet visible and the BG doesn't intersect the head anywhere.
