Excellent job on the whites, Sandy, and I love the title.

I agree with Dennis, Sandy. The whites are really well handled in this image. Great wing and water action and great expression on the second pelican. Good choice of SS to freeze the action and splashing water.

As previously stated, the whites came out great and you captured a good look at both pelicans. The one in the back does look a bit annoyed and the splasher seems to be enjoying the activity.

The guy in the back dose look like he has an attitude. The one on the right is having fun playing in the water. Brother and sister. Just an all-around great shot. Thanks

Cool shot Sandy with great stop action and exposure. Detail looks quite good. Love seeing all the water splashing around. A very fun image.

All said above. “C’mon George – cool it awready!”
