[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From what I've observed, pelicans tend to fly mostly in groups. They're fairly large birds and they seem to glide effortlessly until it's time to dive for a fish or two.

Just the usual pp work here; crop, resize and sharpen.

Thank for viewing and have a nice day.

Hi Werner,
Simplicity at it's finest, well spotted. They all look well frozen due to the fast shutter speed, nicely composed too. The CPL looks like it worked well to achieve the light blue colour of the sky, the lack of clouds helps to keep full focus on the birds. I've been trying my luck with bird photos in the past few days, but I always seem to be standing in the wrong spot. Good use of the zoom with this one.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Werner,

I came back. After a little holiday is here again. I hope that my new pictures you like.
Picture that we are proposing today is a very beautiful and interesting.
Regards,
Adrian

I like the shot very much. As has been said it is a simple shot but well seen and executed. The birds are almost silhouettes and stand out nicely against the blue sky. Nice job
I have done a workshop to simplify the shot even further. I hope you like
warm regards
David
