Hello :)
This is my first "avian" post. Comments and critiques are welcome :).
I should shot at lower angle! That I will try next time :). The timing is not so good... But I like the light and the colors :), so I decided to show you this image.

Light and details look very good. You mentioned the angle and I wish the underside of the bird's left wing were more visible.

Agree with you for light and colors!
I like and the details,welcome to Avian!!!

You have a very nice image here and caught at a good time for action. The water splash adds to your image! Nits mentioned but very good image and nice light.

A big congrats from my side. Welcome here. I love to see a Dalmatian Pelican here.
Very nice image with cool sharpness, wing pose and lights. Keep up sending them :)

Very cool! Composition looks good and the angle is not that bad really. I would consider cloning out the darker spots in the water bottom left and right.

Hi Vladimir,
The nits have been mentioned--I think this is a really good image. I like the action and intensity of the bird. Very nice work dealing with the exposure!

Really like the action and the comp. Nice details in the whites also.
