I was caught by the almost abstact positions that the pelicans were

getting in. Just wondering what others feel about the shot

Like you, I am caught by the almost abstract positions that the pelicans were getting in. This is a great photo. It took me a while to figure out that two birds are on the left and one on the right - at first it seemed as if the head of the closer one on the right belonged to the bird on the left which had a very convoluted neck and was pocking another bird (not poke itself which is actually the case). Lighting is good, composition is good, and there are only two things I could nit-pick. First, it seems like the background pelican on the left slightly out of focus (although this could be because of the scan), and the second is that I wish the very top of the photo were green like the grass leading up to it (it seems like you caught just a bit of a wall or something like that - its a bit dark up there)... these are VERY minor points however. Good job.

I think its a great picture. "Non-portrait" shots of wildlife are great. One captures on film what most seldom see in life.
