Oh!!, this is great Bill. I love the golden glow of the water. The one silhouetted pelican going above the horizon line works perfect. Wonderful work!

If you had only walked 3 m to the right, you could have put the up front pilon in the middle of that nice space, w/o blocking any pelican in the back...and this would have been shot of the year, or close to it. As is, its terrific, but that one flaw just eats me up, cause ive had that happen to me and it sucks...

Bill: Wonderful light and shot. I might make the pelican in the distant BG go away. I also see Stan's point. Well done.>=))>

Terrific shot Bill. Love the pleasing arrangement of the pelicans - just about ideal. The golden light on the water is great too.
