Pelican's pouch can hold 3 gallons of water. No wonder it is so efficient at scooping up fishes.

John - a Great angle to show the pouch - I have never seen it like this. Looks just like the fishing net that it is!
You have some very hot whites that have lost detail - bringing them down a bit would improve this.
Also, if possible, not having the pelican exactly centered would be better. Extra room in the direction the subject is looking is usually ideal.
If you wish to provide your settings when you post, we can offer more useful suggestions.
Nice catch!

Love the action!!
A little tight in the frame, but still a cool shot.

This is really pretty cool! Love that view of the pouch. It would be nice if you posted the techs.

That's a crazy angle to show off the pouch! A lower point of view would be nice, but might have not shown the pouch as well. BTW, I saw a pelican in a city pond actually fit a duck (mallard?) completely in its' pouch. The duck wasn't too thrilled.
