Good captured, showing wing structure in detail.If there was some distance on top and bottom it would be excellent shot.

These are great birds to see in flight. Like a flying army tank. I like the full wing spread. Looks like you were full frame here and its a bit tight. Since you were shooting a zoom it's a shame you didn't pull back a bit. The focus appears to be on the breast and the head is a little soft. You may be able to do some selective sharpening there.

These guys are fun to shoot! Tight on edges.....even for me. Is that a bus behind the lower wing?........drew my eye a bit too much.

Hi
Thank you for the comments. I was in tight on come other Pelicans, when this bird came up right in front of me. There is no room in the frame for the winds. I think a park work van in the background.
