[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the American White Pelican. This photo is from a series I shot at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. I was told that these pelicans are migrating south and would only be there for a short while.

ISO was 400. Focal Length was 260mm.

American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)

For more information on these pelicans, please see my previous posts. This will be my last post for a few days. Happy Holidays to all.

nice capture might want to lighten, sharpen and crop closer to the pelicans

Good geometry in this pic.

Hi Ken,
Very nice formation [synchronized swimming?] of these three white Pelican.
Nice teleshot.

Hi Ken,
Beautiful shot of these pelican in a row.
The reflections on the water and the colors are amazing.

Hi Ken,
a wonderful trio you shot here. Nice reflection and great colors. POV, sharpness and details are very good as well.
Very well done.

Nice composition with three white Pelicans swimming in tandem, Ken.
Happy Holidays to you too.

Hi Ken.
I see the OE problem have solved successfully. Nice shot with excellent colour gamma. Perfect reproduction of all type objects: birds, water surface, vegetation and even reflections. Crisp details and clear paints. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hi Ken, very nice to get three in a line like this. You did well on the exposure. I bet you wish you had a little more than 300 mm for this one. Well done.

Happy Christmas

Hello Ken

Hello Ken,
I love to see them in line like this; this is a very symmetric pose ;) The white contrasts very nicely with the color of the water and this nice autumnal BG. Nice composition and POV, well seen and well done! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Ken,
Excellent shot on these three White Pelicans swimming in formation. Spot on exposure has the colors and detail looking great. We get them flying down the Mississippi River from Canada to the South for the winter. They love to feed at the lock and dam near where I live. Great shot!
Happy New Year,
Scott

Precioso trío. Bellos colores y agradable presentación Ken. Destaca el blanco sobre el fondo.
Un saludo, JL.

Perfect focus--excellent composition --well done-- another fine image!

Cecilia

bonjour ken
j'aime bien cette scene deja pour le fait que les pelicans sont assez rarement presentés et aussi pour la netteté,attention a l'exposition sur les oiseaux blancs.
