Nice. My favorite would be #1; great sky and with more space in the bottom of the frame, the pelican has somewhere to go.

Great sequence shots. Would you mind sharing the focus mode you used?


...for this I was in auto-area in the "bird" focus mode. Camera is a Z9 and when your subject is relatively isolated, once it grabs it doesn't let go as long as the bird
stays in the frame. As you can see, I had to pan down as fast as the bird was diving. Oh, just in case I have my back button set for 3D...I'm back to half-press
after years of BBF! Lens was the 100-400 Z ...

Thank you, Charlie! I am familiar with this place. I live about 30 minutes away from this place currently. I have been there three times in last two weeks. Your shots are great! Thanks!
