Pelicans scare me!!!

[Plumcrak]

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.

Nice textures and patterns in the first two.

[NorthernFocus]

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

Beautiful pics, Jon! They are beautiful birds! Here is one 1 clicked couple of weeks back....



C&C welcome!

Jon, I really like the detail in 1and 2. 3 I like with the sunrise and silhouette, 4 I am still deciding.

[IzzieK]

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 John.

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

Thanks George. I could not get enough of them when I was in Florida.

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??

Nice set Jon!

[AndrewMcD]

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

I very agree with Terri! Great shots

[Brownbear]

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!
