Nice image. I have a hard enough time with my 500 getting two of anything in the same focal plane and good poses. Well done.

A nice grouping with sweet light, Sandy. Given the nice light on the Pelicans, I'd be tempted to add a touch to the reeds in the bg, but that's pretty much a matter of taste. If my eye's aren't deceiving me, just a touch of CW rotation might be in order.

Nice frame, Sandy. To me the exposure looks well controlled and with good detail.

Well done Sandy. I am enjoying the unique pose of each of the individual birds. I agree with Dennis that it gives the appearance of needing a little bit of CW rotation, even if it may be just an illusion.
