Australian Pelican - breeding pair

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark IV, Canon 800 f5.6, 1/1250, f7.1, iso 800, HH

Taken this evening minutes before sunset. These pelicans swim together as part of their courtship ritual. The nice colours on their beaks will disappear as soon as the eggs are laid.

Just too good, marvelous colour

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely light and colors, Ofer. Great low angle and nice HA. Interesting how much larger the male is.

[Don Nelson]

Very well done - I love the light on the birds, and you positioned well to avoid cutting behind the head/neck with the transition to the darker water. Excellent head angles.

[Wynand van Wyk]

Wow, light on this is amazing! Love the detail and colours. Angle superb as well!

Superbly done!

What a cool duo, Ofer. Light is to die for, and the pano crop works so well with these poses and the low angle. Love it.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice low shooting angle, beautiful light and great looking almost identical pose. The colourful reflection og the beak boost the overall presentation. Excellent picture, Ofer.
