[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Trinidad and Tobago I spotted many pelicans. Some of them were constantly diving and I can assure you that these birds are excellent fishermen.
When I caught this pelican I wasn't aware of the gull that was nearby. When I cropped the photo I saw the gull for the first time. It seemed to me that the gull was very surprised of this sudden "pelicanattack".

Great action shot and interesting to see the pattern of the wings of the pelican from below like this, it's very sharp and beautiful.

Hi Zeno,
Cool action shot. It looks like the pelican is after the gull. You got a lot of detail and cancelled any signs of movement out. It looks good,

Matt.

Hallo Zeno,
je foto's blinken uit door goeie scherpte. Daarnaast ook fraaie composities. Deze snoekduik mooi vastgelegd.

A wonderful action-shot, Zeno,
I don't have luck with flying birds, I don't know why, but I never find them looking through the 300-lens.
So I enjoy your shots, thanks and bye

Hi Zeno

Awesome in-flight shot. Love the composition. Well done on the timing! :-)

Hi Zeno,
An excellent shot to capture this diving pelican and freeze him in great detail. The gull looks shocked to see this coming so close to him. Colors,detail, and overall exposure look great.

Hello Zeno,

Great action picture!!! I like the details of the pelican's wings and the composition you did! The bird is greatly sharp! You managed greatly the exposition by letting us see all the white tones. Great picture and TFS,

Michel

Timely action and well seen. Nice to see this as it probably is not a usual occurance.Thanks
