Reminds me of the scene in Finding Nemo.... "Mine"
03/17/2009 08:02:49 AM
I think the colors could use a little more saturation, but this is a great moment to capture.

Fascinating pelican feeding frenzy scene.
03/16/2009 05:20:06 PM

The shot is a bit confused and the light could be better.
03/16/2009 01:50:26 AM
Too much going on, can not focus on one thing. the colors are washed out a bit of saturation will do it good.
03/15/2009 05:25:29 PM

03/15/2009 11:07:30 AM

This is a fun action shot. I like the three watching the other.
03/13/2009 03:38:20 PM

03/12/2009 02:53:52 PM
lol these birds are a riot, nice action shot.
03/12/2009 01:12:08 PM
Petrie was always a bit of a show-off, so when he came in for his snack that day, and dived just a little too deep, and caught his bill on the waves, and went tumbling off in a display of spectacular failure, the pelicans cheered mightily.

"Good on ya Petrie!" they shouted in catcalls and jeers, and laughed. For one such as Petrie, a little Schadenfreude can go a long, long way.
03/12/2009 10:27:16 AM
nice action shot, a little more contrast would work better i think
03/12/2009 10:20:00 AM
These guys are cool to watch.
03/12/2009 09:56:09 AM
Nice capture... maybe a tighter crop could benefit this shot
03/12/2009 07:00:43 AM
I really like the content of this shot. The various positions of the wings, the lines created by the beaks. A little more contrast might have made this pop more.
03/12/2009 03:18:31 AM
I Like the way you were able to stop the action here.
03/11/2009 08:40:25 PM
Ha ha all I can see is Finding Nemo where all the birds are saying " Mine! Mine! Mine!"
03/11/2009 08:00:03 PM
fight fight fight...lol
03/11/2009 05:06:01 PM
Nice timing. It looks like this was cropped a bunch... or just a low resolution image. Could be sharper... but still an interesting image. I can almost hear the other three talking. :)

Nice study of competitiveness.
03/11/2009 06:01:39 AM

03/11/2009 05:03:20 AM
These birds always make great subjects, they look good with their wings out
03/11/2009 04:39:46 AM

03/11/2009 04:38:31 AM
First serve. I'd be interested to see how this looks in b&w
03/11/2009 04:14:02 AM
Need to get closer into the action for better impact
03/11/2009 03:34:00 AM
Nice action shot!
03/10/2009 10:54:52 PM
Powerful birds. They just look awkward. I like the general capture and sense of moment.
