Agreed that this is a nice action shot. I'm not seeing any pelicans in this shot and I'm not completely convinced that these are snow geese as they don't have black wing tips. Were they photographed in a captive situation? City park, etc.? The reason I ask is that they look like domestic white geese than snow geese. Perhaps we can help you pin down the ID a bit more if you provide a bit more information. Love the photo; lots of water in the air!
