Enrique, great action shot and nicely detailed pelican. On my monitor it appears the lighting could be a bit brighter. The pelican is framed too far right but suspect the action was happening too quick to get it framed more pleasingly. Good work!

Enrique,
Agree with Sandra's observation about the crop. Great color and action. It looks fine on my monitor.

I like the placement in the frame. This pelican just danced its way into the frame and is on its way across and out of it.

Nice detail and I can image how quick the events leading up to the shot occurred. A little more room on the right would be nice, but it is not a deal breaker. Color looks perfect on my monitor................................Jim

That must have been cool to watch! His plumage is gorgeous. IMO a little more room on the right and bottom would look good.
