This also works with a close crop just showing the pelicans, I think.

Very cute and nice find. I like the 3 ducks (?) in the background too. I think this shot would be improved if you had cropped out the top third portion.

beautiful. I had no idea that pelecans ever swam together like this.I might like it more if it were cropped just below the closest duck.

Wow! A pelikan armada. How's you get them into an (almost) perfect row? I'd have radically cropped the top away. It distracts too much from the birds.

this is cute. focus seems quite soft, and I think the crop is a bit close to the guy on the right, but probably to remove an 8th pelican? Lighitng on the pelican closest to the camera seems a bit harsh, but not much you can do about that. I wonder how this would have done with a crop to show just the pelicans. a panoramic type crop. I think that might have cut out some background noise and draw more attention to the birds. Cute. ~Heather~

I like it, but find the top half of the photo distracting. Perhaps a little different positioning and cropping would have made some difference.

great capture to get the 7 pelicans in a row. a little overexposed and I might have cropped out the far shore to isolate the birds better

I'd crop out the side walk and try to get the Pelicans a little sharper.

perhaps reduce the dof? to isolate the subject.

nice, but prob would have liked a tighter crop of just the birds.
