| I've been pondering getting a shot looking down a Pelican's beak while it had it open for food. Got a fright when I seen this one. You've done an awesome job. Well done. ps. I like the Pelicans too, we have a fair few Australian one's around here. |

| Thanks for all the great comments! I love to photograph birds and especially pelicans! They are one of my favorite birds as they are both beautiful and somewhat cumbersome in their appearance. This was a last hour entry, as my computer crashed and I almost missed the deadline. As with most of my wildlife shots, this was a lucky capture. We arrived at feeding time for them and this one bird, in particular was a great fisherman! |

One of my three 10's. I'm absolutely amazed this didn't ribbon, though of course you did very well with it :-) But still, this is so utterly, triumphantly, outrageously in-your-face, giving us more knowledge, in a single image, of the details of pelican dining than we've ever dreamed of having.
HOW could this have been improved? It's essentially flawless, the trans-luminance of the sac is stunningly effective, the jumping anchovies are so alive...
(And yes, they *are* anchovies, in case you happened to have been wondering) |

| Impressive timing. Nicely done with the color and detail here. Curious though, do they close their eyes when in this stage of eating? |

| That's amazing! Great timing to catch those poor fish still struggling and the water splashing. I'd dodge a bit of catchlight in the pelican's eyes so they don't look so much like black holes, lighten up the midtones a tad and dodge the face a little to bring out more detail. But I'm in awe of your timing! |

Now there's a unique shot. One that you don't see everyday. Or ever in my case. Imagine having a huge fish scooper attached to your lower jaw. You could just scoop up a school of tasty fish, swallow and be done for the day. I think this one deserves a 10 just because it's a great capture.

| I always wondering what was in there, he's a good fisherman, there is a lot to like about this but I am not so certain it has an artistic quality I would hang on a wall...great as a documentary. |
