  Thank you, Kevin and Sharon!
The pelicans were in the swirling water at the base of a weir, right up against the concrete wall. I was standing about 25 feet directly above them, shooting down.

  Incredible shot, Doug! The soft subtleness of color tones, accented by the pelicans beak tones and angles makes for a fabulous image! A winner here!
