    Perfect title that works both literally and figuratively.

    Wonderful image, Dossy!
    Excellent use of shallow depth of field. Makes for an impressive 3D effect.

    Great use of a OOF background.

    Nailed it very nice. I might have cropped the bottom part out.

    I agree with Dudley. The bottom takes away from the pelican IMHO.

    Thank you, Dudley and Allan! Here's a cropped version. Maybe instead of "Above it All" I could just call it "Soaring!"

    Though I prefer the second image, I appreciate that the two images tell very different stories. Depending on the story being told, one image does a better job than the other one.

    Thanks for your input, Mike! I agree completely. I do like the crop better, and the first one can definitely be used for a different story.
