Pelicans

OK, so this theme is Pelicans at sunset. In the first picture you can get a sense of the bird's true dimensions. In the second picture, you have to strain to see that they are even there. In the third and fourth pictures, it is their interaction with their environment that makes the pictures what they are. And the last is perhaps my favorite pelican picture of all time, just because.

  1. Somehow, your picture with the least amount of pelican presence is my favorite. It's not just the beauty of the clouded sunset, but its those tiny insignificant specks of life that give the shot its character, I think.

  2. What can be more beautiful than the sea and seabirds? Marvellous shots of golden sunsets!

  3. I agree that the sea, especially with seabirds, plays into the photographer's hands. And there is nothing like sunset to capture the essence of both.

  4. Drachma, these photographs somehow lift and transfer me to some other dimension.I love them all but the last 2 are truly amazing!

  5. That is precisely why I love photography. Because it can do just that. Now who would have thought of pelicans, just doing their thing, could have that power, eh?
