Cool shot! I like the transluscence of his bill.

That's really wild! Perhaps less than flattering for Mr. Pelican, but a neat illustration of some interesting features of these birds. Cool to see.

I like it! That's a very unique view of a pelican. I didn't realize you find pelicans at Sloans Lake. I'd like to see more of the reflection, as that looks like it could be interesting. But perhaps he was too close to the shore to get any more reflection.

Now that's a shot you don't see every day! Great capture!
