Nice use of thirds. Did you try a slightly tighter crop? I have my monitor calibrated, but this looks a little dark. Looks a little oversharpened - not too keen on the bright outlines of some parts.
So Cal coastline? I had a few very similar shots - including the grey clouds. :( I like the composition, but the pelican\'s a bit dark and lacking detail. I realize the limitations you faced, but the result is just OK.
I know it is tough to take bird shots against a bright sky. Too bad the bird colors and textures don't show show up better. These are great birds! Not sure what the answer is, maybe work more with the sun at your back?
Nice composition - you can feel the sweep of the pelican across the sky. Wish the clouds had better definition - a polarizing filter or perhaps playing with contrast on the computer.
