This is a great shot. Perfect timing on capturing. Good contrast and white balance. This is also nicely centered.

Great stop action shot here in full precise focus. Those feet just skimming the top of the water is easily seen and adds loads of interest and entertainment to the image.

Techs are good - the time of day created some challenging shadows that I think you managed well. Colors are natural and real.

composition utilizes texture and the rule of thirds (with the bird being placed on the top horizontal line of the grid.) Nice presentation with just enough extra room in the direction he is looking. Kathy

Very nice. While the water is clear (even down to the reflection). The Pelican seems to be a bit dark. However, it is still a great action shot.

He will soon find out if the water is cold--skirting along avove the water preparing for take-off.What a huge wing-span this pelican has --good reason to show off and win the approval of the lady pelicans He is nicely highlighted with the sun.
