A beauty.

Glad you waited!! Beautiful!

I could wait here for a very long time! V!

Great shot Herb.

Dave Wyman		02-Mar-2006 16:40
I haven't visited your galleries in a while - I see I missed some terrific pictures.

Guest		02-Mar-2006 07:40
Worth waiting for this stunning image. You're lucky the Pelican fly along that quick, otherwise the sun would already perhaps not there anymore. Lovely sunset plus with that nice flying pelican. The golden glow of water too on the foreground is absolutely beautiful. Gets my vote.

Greg Harp		01-Mar-2006 05:32
Nice!

Laryl		01-Mar-2006 05:23
wtg.. love a guy with patience :)

Karen Leaf		01-Mar-2006 03:05
wow and right along the horizon line. And to have 2 little ducks too. Perfect positioning. That sun couldn't get much bigger.

Peter Stahl		28-Feb-2006 23:26
Timing is everything. Well done Herbert.

Sam X		28-Feb-2006 22:55
EXCELENT SHOT ... WAS WORTH WAITING

Jackdad		28-Feb-2006 22:36
maybe, but something tells me that if I tried this I'd have a long wait. ;-) beautiful shimmering-sunset shot herb.

Ian Clowes		28-Feb-2006 21:38
:) Just how long did you have to wait!

Guest		28-Feb-2006 21:10
Wow, this is excellent!

Robin Reid		28-Feb-2006 19:38
Excellent Herb.

Guest		28-Feb-2006 15:22
Great capture...

Renee Lockett		28-Feb-2006 13:08
What a joy to view this photo. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it. :)

ewa toll		28-Feb-2006 12:24
gorgeous shot

tembapix		28-Feb-2006 12:19
No chance of that here, I'm afraid. Used to be a time when you might, if you were really lucky, get a flamingo, but even those seem to have deserted these shores now. Still, there's always the gulls!

Valeska		28-Feb-2006 12:17
Much better weather overthere. Glad you waith so long

Karen Stuebing		28-Feb-2006 11:54
Awesome capture. That sinking sun is huge and perfect timing.

Christin Tr�ger		28-Feb-2006 09:53
Great catch.

Marco Valk		28-Feb-2006 09:51

QUERIDO		28-Feb-2006 07:06
superb

Bryan Murahashi		28-Feb-2006 06:35
Excellent colors and silohuettes in this sunset shot. Wonder if you could see the elusive green flash (http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~astro/research/sandiego.html ) GMV.

Bryan Ramsay		28-Feb-2006 05:43
You got me there, not to many pelicans here in MD right now. I learned your seagull lesson well;) This is very nice. -BJ

Guest		28-Feb-2006 05:38
Fantastic shot, well done indeed!

Steven Jusczyk		28-Feb-2006 05:15
Love the color on the water

Yvonne		28-Feb-2006 04:49

Herb, It looks as though you've outdone yourself! Nice shot. Joe

Katie Chew		28-Feb-2006 03:00
Excellent!

Marek Kacprzak		28-Feb-2006 01:40
talk about the timing... or patience... or both. I am with Dan on this one and will be pitching in for a turtle;) awesome image!

Dan Chusid		28-Feb-2006 01:27
I'm gonna buy you a turtle for your birthday... ;^))

b-w studio		28-Feb-2006 01:17
wowowow!

Di		28-Feb-2006 01:08
Ok, Herb...when I come to California, will you arrange for several shots like this for me? This is just awesome! ~V~

Mike Moats		28-Feb-2006 00:55
Excellent Herbert

Guy Bruyea		28-Feb-2006 00:23
Your patience paid off indeed. Absolutely beautiful.

Nice image. Glad you had the patients.

Guest		28-Feb-2006 00:16
Stunning

Guest		27-Feb-2006 23:40
Amazing shot. I'm glad you waited long enough. voted.

J. Scott Coile		27-Feb-2006 23:39
WOW. Beautiful Herbert!

laine82		27-Feb-2006 23:37
Resplendent image !!

petesie		27-Feb-2006 23:24
First you have to have an ocean, then the right amount of clouds, then a beautiful sinking sun.....then you have to be there at the right moment and a pelican must fly by. You did all the above and it is awesome. So I voted.

Guest		27-Feb-2006 23:11
Nice capture, depends on where you live!

Ron S. Bernardo		27-Feb-2006 22:58
Perfect timing, great shot. Voted!

chrisse		27-Feb-2006 22:46
Awesome, great capture and timing, and a beautiful sunset it is. Chrisse

Jola Dziubinska		27-Feb-2006 22:44

Michael Gehrisch		27-Feb-2006 22:35
Beautiful!

Sheila		27-Feb-2006 22:35
WoW! That is a fantastic sunset!

Eckhart Derschmidt		27-Feb-2006 22:29
Almost too much ;-), but beautiful indeed! As a sunset usally takes only a few minutes (at leaset the last phase), there must be quite a number of pelikans around...

Guest		27-Feb-2006 22:26
Stunning!!

Chris		27-Feb-2006 22:24
AMAZING!! Chris

Zak		27-Feb-2006 22:24
Nice one, Herb!!

royalld		27-Feb-2006 22:24
FANTASTIC!

James Ross		27-Feb-2006 22:22
Wow! thats one cracking Sun :-)
