Caught this lovely Pelican on an otherwise quiet day at Ft. Desoto.
Comments/critiques appreciated.

This is a great landing/wingflap image. Your exposure is good and I like the composition. However, the OOF birds detract from the image and lead the eye away from the pelican. These should be fairly easy to clone out. I would also like a little more headroom. Good work on capturing the action.

Great exposure and sharpness and the low angle is nice.
I do agree with Joel on the OOF birds, but I wouldnt take the time to clone them out, that would take too much time and would be very difficult to do without artifacts.

Nice low perspective and pose. Good exposure and sharp detail. The oof birds are distracting as mentioned.
