It looks like the White Pelican in the center has a strange head for a Pelican. Great action shot Bob. Superb work!!!

.... and a great job you've done with this one Bob... as you say... practice, practice!!

My problem is trying to remember what I did before and what I changed!!

You've really captured some great action in this picture - very well done lad.

A lovely action shot, Robert, though I fear for that little duck in the background!

Congrats on the new lens Bob. Great shots today. This cormie sure looks out of place with the pelicans.
