Image this week comes from BigV...congratulations.  This is a great nature shot, requiring extremely good skill set. Shooting a Pelican in flight coming into land is diffuclt enough, but with light disappearing, as sunset would have been about 15-20 minutes away shows the quality of this image. A clear blue sky provided good even light, assisting with the reflection of the Pelican in the water. Original thread can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=39243

After all the sensational shots you take I'm glad one has finally cracked POTW - I think you post such a great consistent quality we take them a bit for granted - Well deserved win !! DebT

I wish I could come close to your average shot. And this is well above even your average. Well deserved.
