Congratulations on the win, well deserved. The timing to get the pelican with catch in beak is excellent. The focus is sharp and the colors appear realistic. Your pelicans are so different to our black and white ones in Australia. Enjoyable to view.

Fantastic image! Excellent framing and completely wonderful clarity. Colors are crisp and clear but the detail is what really makes this stand out. Excellent work!

i would holler.."hey i need that for bait!" see me chasing the bird..lol. i have these flock of heron that comes thru my yard everyday..i always call them florida chicken..they will walk in front of a car like a chicken does...lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this bird with beak open showing catch is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Witty title and beautiful blues and soft swirls in the water. Ha! The mouth of that large foul does look like a small swimming pool, especially to the small little fellows about to be gulped down. Fine photography and Congratulations on your wildlife photo contest win!

A very nice perspective that enables me to see the size of the little fish that fill his pouch. Excellent details and very nice colors. Best of luck in the contest.

This is an amazing shot. I have seen Pelican's diving from the sky into the water, but food, but I have never seen little fish swimming in their beaks. Your close-up is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color and the sharpness of detail. The photo is well composed. The Pelican is excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
