I really like this shot. I love how the white really stands out from the dark background.

Woah! Talk about a subject that stands out. The muted background and reflections in the water do so much for this photo. This reminds me of what I tried to accomplish all those years ago with B&W film, getting every Zone System level from 1 to 9.

Very nice!

Love the detail..the color..the contrast. Beautiful bird..and you've captured it so well.

Whoa! That really is an awesome photo. The contrast of the colors and white of the pelican against the dark background makes a great image.
