Great moment captured. I like dainty foot arrangement and the other birds lurking in the background.

This is really cool Jagdeep. Great comp and I like the birds hiding in BG. It has a very moody feel to it that I like. There does seem to be some noise visible in the main Pelican. If you felt like it you could clone out some of the brighter white spots in the water. They are just a bit of a distraction.Nice Shot!

Outstanding image!! I like every thing about it, the pose of the pelican, the light how it strikes the pelican, the wing position. Plus the birds in the BG. I like the highlights on the water. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting image. The bird or monkey standing vertical next to the tree directly behind the pelican is creepy! Nice shot!!

Great flight action you captured here Jagdeep. I like the feel of the dark environment, the rim light on the pelican separates him perfectly from the surroundings.

As others have alluded to, the dark tones are really effective here. It's got a nice mood to it.
