During my visit to the USA I could not help but notice the patriotism. Flags waving everywhere and people wearing miniatures on their chests. Don't get me wrong: no offence meant! I got to understand this better after reading some books by Nelson DeMille who describes what effect 9/11 had on the US citizens. Good books by the way. Anyway, this proud bird is another fantasy of mine. Hope you enjoy!

What a great picture Paul ... Considering the "Turkey" was almost named the National bird I would prefer your pelican, it looks great in front of the Flag :) I love the way you arranged the whole thing ... Great job ... I hope you enjoyed your visit to the US ....

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

usual great technique and demonstration of what talent combined with really good equipment can produce. We Americans have always flown and worn our flags, it's a pride thing, not hubris. No one would take offense upon viewing this exquisite, whimsical take on our penchant for patriotic displays. Well done as per your usual stellar efforts.

Now that's about the most unique combination of elements I've seen in a long time. Too bad our founding fathers didn't pick a pelican as the national bird.

That's interesting. Not sure I quite get the combo of the flag and a pelican, but okey dokey...

To take a photograph is to make a presentation of God's work. Do so Wisely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~Christian Of Caedes~~
