I really like the unique composition and that it's foot is in the air, has that 'stalking' look to it.

Unique comp Dan! Whites look properly exposed against the dark background.

Dan, this is one of the coolest Pelican poses I think I have seen captured. Awesome timing and well presented!

A different comp. Way cool.

Surely one of the oddest poses I've seen from a pelican. Nice light, and the reflection & limited DOF give this lots of added dimension. Another fine wildlife image, Dan!
