This is a pretty amazing moment in time captured here. The composition works well and the use of B&W compliments the image. Well done Paul!

You've set the birds off from the background very well -- your skills in B&W always show through.  I'll admit I think the instant before they took off, that moment when they were massed at the end of that small rise, was a more unique and interesting photograph.  I think that's because we commonly see birds flying, but to see them massed together, especially pelicans, is a more rare event.  Nevertheless, you have two very good photographs, and they go well together as a sequence.

Superb capture! Great details and excellent B&W post-processing.

Stunning and dramatic! I keep wanting to look at it...great timing. Regards, Pete.

This is a wonderful companion piece to the other beach scene with pelicans; one in repose, one in full flight. You could hardly have caught them better.

A beautiful result with very nice lighting, Paul!

 

More than beautiful! A well captured moment in great detail.The B&W works very well. Bravo!!

Wonderful time capsule. Alfredo

eye catching composition. Looks cool in b&w. 

Strong, interesting nature image!

What a wonderful capture... right time right place with your camera.  Great energy dynamic you captured.  Nice to see the background out of focus, not common in many landscape shots these days...

Thank you all for the compliments.

Amazing capture; must have been even more so in person! You have done a great job photographing this moment! Really great! Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you Trisha.

Amazing detail in the birds with the softness of the sand. Great capture. 7/7.

Amazing Shot! Great timing!
