    Saw a pelican come up with this monster fish and try every which way to get him down. He finally gave up on eating it...

    Cool moment captured. Does this need a bit CCW rotation? I might give it a bit more room.

    Great wing position, framing, and timing (on your part). Decent head angle. Where and when was the image created? Was the fish already dead?

    Hi Artie....It was taken in Estero last Jan. Thats a good question if the fish was dead. I didn't see him actually catch it but he grabbed my attention by flailing away at it trying to get it down. He went on for a good 10 minutes than gave up on it.

    Thank you sir. The fish looks very dead to me, perhaps a snook. Was there a cold front?
