    One of my favorite pelican fish flip shots.
    Cropped to tell the story better.

    Thanks for looking.

    Wonderful -- great timing, excellent sharpness and detail. I love how the shape of the fish fits the shape of the water droplets!

    Hey Tim,

    Like the rest of the gang I love the fish and the water droplets. What species and where photographed? The color of the upper mandible and the bill pouch sure do not look like any Brown Pelican I have seen in SOCAL...

    ps: a bit of Eye Doctor work would improve this image.

    Hi Artie, yes this is in SOCAL, it is a brown pelican (as far as I know) starting to show some breeding colors.

    Thanks -Tim
