    They look amazingly patient and well-behaved!

    Are we back in watercolor mode for this shot, Jacob? It's a great shot, with an almost collage effect. That very tan man framed by two pelicans, that tower of white cloud and that wild-bearded man with his hands in the bucket and the pelican groupies. Really great shot and treatment.

    I was wondering about this scene...the pelicans look so peaceful and I think certainly I should be afraid of them!
    These pelicans are very polite waiting for their snack! :-))
    Great post Jacob!
    Cool shot!

    They are so cute. I also like the billowing clouds in the background and how the other guy's back is oily from sun tan oil.

    @ Ciel - Because they are beggars and the fishermen give them trash fish at the end of the day...

    Wow! What an amazing shot. They look like street beggars, those patient pelicans. I like the almost surreal feel to this photo. It would make a wonderful poster!

    These are moments that make us want to be fishermen :)

    Such beggars. And I bet they are pretty well fed. I hope he had enough for all of them.

    To me the pelican is the iconic bird of Florida. They are such characters. Love this shot.
