@Bill: haha, I would feel so guilty if you quit! I still have a ton to learn from a seasoned photo vet like yourself! But i'm glad you like it :)

This is very cool, Josh. Love the texture of the neck!

@Tracey: Thanks Tracey, I'm glad you like it! This shot cracks me up for some reason :)

Chris from South Jersey, United States

that is too funny - what a different view of this bird. I hope he doesn't have a sore throat - it would take a lot of lozenges to soothe that......

@Chris: very keen observation...it almost has the beginnings of a childrens' story :)

Les from Lincoln, United States

Oh. My. God! This is a five-star shot!! It took me a minute to figure out that it's a pelican. What great perspective and bokeh. Very nice capture, Josh. You should be proud.

What a great shot! Like Les, it took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but once I did . . . wow.
