Beautiful, Sandy.
I liked you got them all with nice position, all eyes visible. Nice work on the white.

Nice group - all in focus and all with unobstructed eyes. I find multiple subjects very difficult and would be happy with this.

A real nice grouping and your pano crop suits it nicely. Sharon

Perfect pano of the gaggle. Trees at top make good border. :wavey:

Geese are a "gaggle". A group of pelicans is a "squadron" ( WHO assigns these ridiculous terms ?????!!!)

nice one Sandy. I like the composition. The horizon is higher on the right than left meaning a little clock-wise rotation may be in order.

Nice image of the squadron, Sandy. To me, pelicans are beautiful and funny- or awkward-looking birds at the same time. Your photo captures the best of them.
