Great shot. This pelican lover is always amazed at how they skim the water surface and don't seem to slow down.

You're just sitting here writing comments and you run across a picture that is so amazing you just can't think of anything to say. That would be this one.

Zak		30-Dec-2005 11:30
cool catch!

Karen Stuebing		30-Dec-2005 10:41

Excellent capture, well done

Steven Jusczyk		30-Dec-2005 08:03
Love the touch of the wing. Great catch!

Wouldn't you love to be a bird some days. Great capture.

Great shot. I love the way these guys can just skim along the water forever.

Valeska		30-Dec-2005 06:49
Love your comment, so many words for you....

henrywong		30-Dec-2005 06:35
wow, that's wonderful...I haven't seen that before !

Coleen Perilloux Landry		30-Dec-2005 05:26
Great shot, Herb. To look at these birds on shore one would think they are so clumsy, but once they take off they're beautiful gliders.

Gary Winters		30-Dec-2005 04:20
Excellent, once again!

Kathy Pedersen		30-Dec-2005 03:53

Very nice shot!

Karen Leaf		30-Dec-2005 02:52
Kinda looks (and feels) like a couple recent flights I've been on, lol. This is one cool shot.

Guest		30-Dec-2005 02:34
Wonderful capture!

Elaine (etfitz)		30-Dec-2005 01:58
Gorgeous! Love the tip of the wing touching the water!

Bryan Murahashi		30-Dec-2005 01:37
Very nice capture.

Robin Reid		30-Dec-2005 01:21
Your work is always so pleasing. This one is terrific.

Pat Hemlepp		30-Dec-2005 00:57
Excellent catch, Herb. Maybe he's checking the water temperature before deciding whether to land or not ...

Yvonne		30-Dec-2005 00:10
Watching his reflection and tipped too far to the right? Superb shot Herb!

Cindy Flood		29-Dec-2005 23:49
You really got the DOF perfect. Nice shot.

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		29-Dec-2005 23:34
Nice shot :)

Di		29-Dec-2005 23:34
Ok...make that his other left (blush).

Di		29-Dec-2005 23:33
Wow Herb! Very impressive! Love how his left wing is just barely dipping in the water. This is really something.

Gayle P. Clement		29-Dec-2005 23:25
Very nice capture. Love the way he's skimming along.

Guest		29-Dec-2005 23:24
Awesome shot - you can just imagine that he's messing around, showing off (at least to himself) that he can do something so whimsical and demonstrative of his talent. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Jackdad		29-Dec-2005 22:43
He's forgotten to put the landing gear down though LOL Lovely carefree capture.
