This shot is just wonderful. Brings back such great memories for me - there's nothing more peaceful in the world than a scene like the one you have represented here. And you've done it beautifully. The lighting is perfect, the reflections are great, the composition is lovely... Bumping up. 10

Ya don't often see the pelican from the front-on angle in a photo. Definitely a unique pose - and one that works well here. Beautiful reflection too (although I'd love to see more of it). Great focus and color. 9

Beautiful shot. Simple and graceful in its lines and color tones. Really nice composition (and I even like the border). 9

I don't think I've ever seen this breed of bird before, and you captured such a stunning shot of them! This is truly a remarkable image. Love the motion blur and the feather fan of the wings. The lighting is wonderful and the focus/DOF is dead on. The crop may be a tad tight, but it allows the viewer a much closer look. Really top-notch work. Bumping up... 10

Ya know... The eyes really make this seem like it's taken in the wild. I don't know if it is or not, but it's a stunning shot. Have to give you the benefit of the doubt - fantastic job. 9

Very cute shot - and I really like the processing (very unusual). Nice crop too. Good work as usual. ;-)
