    Nice detail.
    I can never seem to get them in the right light. Either to bright or too dark.

    I like this one, Ric! Great detail, beautiful gold color of the bill against that deep blue sky. So striking! Best, Pam

    Nicely done photo.

    A remarkable bird is the pelican
    His mouth can hold more than his belly can
    He can hold in his beak
    Enough food for a week
    And I don't know how the hell he can

    Nice shot Rick

    Looks like early light. The light seems to put a yellow (warm) cast on the subject. I had the same problem one morning

    Nice work

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    nicely done, the lighting is nicely under control.
    here we have a park where there are so many flying around a 15
    but they are pink in color but it failed me this beautiful photograph.
    their fur shines too fierce.

    I've seen these guys in huge flocks along the Mississippi River. The nice thing is they are not all that shy.

    That "yellow cast" is desirable! I could sleep in otherwise.rolleyes1.gif
