    I love the fract work. The poses of both pelicans are very nice and the splash is a nice bonus. I do wish they had separated but I think you created a very fine image here. The wing details are fantastic.
    ps- I might tone down that far wing edge.

    Nice image. Liked the spread out wings and the water droplets flying in air. The filter has helped in bringing out smaller details in the bird.

    An excellent image, Bill! The flight poses are superb, and I love the sharp details and the water drops flying out behind. I don't really mind the birds merging. Well done!

    Beautiful composition, Bill. Nice flight pose... I wish the far wing of the near bird did not overlap the beautiful dangling feet. The colors and lovely and I like your use of just enough fract to make this image so mush appealing. TFS.

    Nice image and application, Bill.

    Nice subtle use of fract to enhance the image.

    Good base image as well.

    Hi Bill, I like the very subtle fracting and the nice poses of the two birds. I like the way they overlap and interlock and the pano crop helps to keep the eye focused on the action. If it were mine I would use a light blur tool on the vegetation in the background to minimize the grain look. Nice capture.
