Nice diving form and nice stop action exposure.
Nice monochrome with very nice clarity.

Such a dynamic image with the contrasts, sense of motion, strong diagonals and stark isolation. This really has a wonderful fine art feel. VV++

This is a great idea for a series. Great sharp diving catch on this one. I like how the pelican looks against the plain white background. ~BV~

Very dramatic capture. It’s amazing how nimble they are considering their size. V

hot stuff...love how it slashes across the frame at a telling angle...that's serious intent..

Love the composition and the fact that it's in black and white. For such a big, awkward bird he looks very stealth here!

Suspended against a blank sky doubly gets the viewer's attention. "VV"

Very dynamic capture of this diving pelican. Great idea to use B&W in this series, too.
