The close formation flying is a piece of cake!! The real skill is required for landing!! #1326441John Connolly November 12, 2010

Beautiful wildlife capture! This is great! catching the pelicans flying so close together. Nice work Phillip I like the entry one the best! #9032469Mary K. Robison November 13, 2010
Phil, I love the grace of the pelican "formation" you captured so perfectly here, especially after seeing your "chaos of landing" shot! :-DLorna Shutter November 14, 2010
Yes, they look so graceful in the air, but their landing was a bit of a mess! Ha! Ha! Love all three images, but the one you entered is a winner! Your timing was impeccable! Are you sure you didn't clone one to make two? Well, that'd be a feat in itself! LOL! Beautiful capture, Phil! :) #9033120JO ANN CLEVELAND November 15, 2010
