Cormorant & Pelicans

Went for Whale watching (infact photographing) and came back with these pics.
I caught this Pelican when it was trying to fly with our boat. I was with 100-400 @ 400mm and did not get any time to change the focal length. Hence these are uncropped version and I would like to know whether its too tightly framed or is it fine.
Also what I liked here is the detail and I only wish these Pelicans were in Breeding Plumage.
I would really appreciate any comments & critique.

Wow I really like these pics. The sharpness, lighting and feather detail is fantastic.

Thanks Salmon.

These are all great shots. Pelicans are so cool.

Great! You was too close

Boy you have Come a Long Ways Mulas, These are some outstanding Images!!

All very good shots but a bit too close for me.... Still nicely done... I wish I could do half as good as these though...

Nice series, Mulas. Interesting compositions.
