WELCOME to DPS
WOW!! That first one is an AMAZING shot. Too cool. And the second one is almost equally amazing. Great start to the forum.

That 1st shot is awesome! Perfect Focus and well composed. I like the second one as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Welcome to DPS, these are fantastic. My Mom and I love going to the beach and seeing the pelicans. We have a trip planned for this Tues. Our shots have never been this clear. Maybe we will have some luck this time. Thanks for sharing! These are both fantastic but #1 is my fav.

Both are sharp and clear. These are the kinds of pelican shots I've been trying to get for a few months, now. Well done!
