You did a really good job on the color with this image. What strikes me most is the white balance between the birds and the water. The light is just wonderful here. The panoramic view with the warm green tones in the background and the cool blues of the Sacramento River really set off this group of White Pelicans well.

Excellent job on the exposure, Sandy, and some really sweet light on this grouping. I like your choice of crop.
