Not sure I quite understand what you were going for here, it just doesn't come across as literal to me for some reason but the shot is very nice, well done and it's almost as if he's looking right at you. A 5

This is a very good shot. Having recently tried some wildlife photography I can appreciate how difficult it is to get a shot like this. The negative space is good, complimenting the feeling of flying. The image is sharp with good color and light. Contrasts are also good. I dont really see anything that could be improved on. Well done.

Nice zoomy shot. Thats a scary graceful bird. Such a connection birds have to dinosaurs- they never became extinct:)

One of few entries in this challenge which consider an aesthetic measure of a photo above a 'clever interpretation of trivial matters'. The title, nevertheless, proves that a challenge can be met and met well on more than one front.

Good, natural rendering and apt composition of an interesting subject. If the pelican's beak were a little crisper, the image could be breath-taking. The evenly dark sky (?) is ominous and complimentary.

My suggestion is to brighten the background, it looks a little dull
excellent capture!!

Nice pelican shot. Not sure the title fits the shot, but who cares.
