    Pelicans scare me!!!

    They are quiet. They are deceptively fast. And they have a tendency to fly right over my head or under the dock right where I am standing. I am not complaining though

    They did watch the sun rise with me every morning though.

    They are pretty cool birds. And wide spread in several varieties around the world. Nice captures.

    Oooohhhh these shots are beautiful, John...no critique from me -- they are all good.

    Vish, it will be nice if you submit your shot and ask for C&C in a separate thread that will be exclusively yours to be commented on by members...I am sure you will be more noticed that way...

    Beautiful shots, John.
    I love the brown pelicans that I see when on vacation in Kure Beach, NC. They look like what I imagine Pterodactyls looked like, especially when I see them fly overhead. Those arm bones!

    Thanks Dan. They do have a sort of Clumsy Elegance to them.

    That is a great perspective having them fly under you. Great job, especially in the first one. Also really like the silhouette in the first sunset pic.

    Enjoying the results of your Florida trip!

    Thanks so much Terri. I have so many more to go through and I am just not feeling it tonight. I will be out of town for a few days for work, maybe when I get back I will be able to get into the groove??

    I really like #1 for the unusual perspective. On #3 and #4 I find myself trying to read the sign.
    Nice work!

    I love pelicans! I especially adore the 1st image for the perspective, detail, and the position of action. Wonderful capture!

    I too, am enjoying all your bird images!
