What Paul said. I'm surprised this one didn't reach the top 10. Given the 800px limit, a tighter crop might have helped show more detail.

Had this pegged as a ribbon, if not TT, can't believe it didn't out score mine.

I love that the bit of water is visible then blends right into a background that lets your wonderful subjects stand strong on their own.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Bold and bright composition that works perfectly
2. Such delicacy in the pelicans
3. Sharp where it needs to be
4. Well controlled exposure
5. Great balance in your elements.

Distinguished by its precise construction. Very well made.

This is one of those images that shouldn't work, but for whatever reason, does.
