Nice Brown Pelican flight. Amazing they can skim so close to the water and never dip a wing. Excellent detail in the larger version.

Peter, I like the wing position and exposure in this. My only wish would be for the pelican to be flying into the light so that the eye could be seen a little better. Nice work.

I, too, would like to see the eye better, but it looks like you have great detail on the head and bill and nearer wing.
