Looks relatively sharp but there is too much dead space in the frame for this to be effective and the wing positions are nothing to write home about. The merge of the three birds in the upper left is unfortunate. Images like this might work if the birds were directly overhead.

While I do like the diagonal line of the birds in the frame, the overlapping of the birds in the upper left corner is not desireable. Wihen you are trying for images of groups of pelicans, wait till they are flapping their wings ( rather than soaring )t o take the images and you have a chance of getting good wing positions.
