Great photos. I can't help but laugh at the eyes, looks so cartoonish I'm use to Brown and White Pelicans

These are pretty good shots. Not a comment on your work, but I could never get used to the unreal quality and colours of the pelican heads. So surreal.

i like the first shot - in the air!

The 2nd last image is very well done in terms of composition

Lovable series! I like the ones where the pelican is just above the water! This tells something about the birds character, at least in my imagination!

Great job of catching these birds at the "critical" moment. I've never been able to do that with big brown and white pelicans that inhabit Galveston Bay.

The quality of the first one is amazing. And it's a funny one too, because for me it is like the Pelican is cut from another photo and pasted in a dull one with one wave

Nice getting these guys as they're landing. I loled when I noticed the 2 in the tree yelling at the party crasher

It looks like a hover pelican in the first picture.
