Looks great Dave. Awesome bird and techs look perfect as usual. Beautiful smooth background as well. BIF is too easy for you so you have upped the Ante to BIF while boating!

Fab Dave, perfecto and what gorgeous colors with the blacks and whites that are exposed beautifully at 3200ISO. Details throughout. What a fun shooting experience you had in that swivel chair!

It looks like someone took a marker to his eye and face and colored it in. I sure hope I see one!
Geat frame. Perfect wing stroke, tack sharp and nice BG.
I have never seen these guys in real life. Are the feathers brown, chocolate brown or black? I think I see a blue cast in the browns but I could be wrong,

Lovely and impressive image.......... my eye soon went to the darker feathers and I too think there is a blue cast, otherwise great image.

These Pelicans are pretty universal in Aus . The boat driver was simply copying what happens if you go with David at SoCal but at a half the speed!.
This is either male of female in 'courtship flush' as indicated by the pink. I think they have just remade a film called 'storm boy' which is all about one of these beautiful birds .Worth seeing Im told. I'm not sure about other pelicans but these often fly in great V formations up to 60 or more in the group.
Black is the right colour for the wings .
Great shot David butI think i forgot to tell you that the swivel seat is fitted with VR.

Hi Dave, nothing short of what we expect from you these days. You have raised your own bar, so each image just gets better and better. Excellent flight pose with the downstroke of the wings, and overall tack sharp. The detail and colour around the head is simply stunning. I wasnt aware the Ozzie Pelicans looked like this. Dont expect SA Pelicans to look like this. Ours are plain drab white. Even your brown Pelicans are better looking than ours. Congrats on a great capture bud.

Killer frame and image with a completely surreal eye. In a perfect world, I do not think that you would have minded a bit more head turn toward us. If I ever make it Down Under, this would be my most wanted subject.

Thanks Artie! You are right about the HA and I also wish the head didn't intersect the rear wing but we take what we can get. See ya soon.
Thanks as always William!!
