***Brown Pelican fishin'***

[Yves Guillot]

Hello everyone!

Back from SW Florida a few days ago, I tried to catch the brown pelicans while fishing or diving : not an easy task!

Here is one of the few shots I was able to take. I like it for its funny side and its behavioral interest.

Canon EOS 7D (http://www.birdphotographers.net/cameras/canon/eos_7d) Canon IS 600 mm 1:4,0 - 1/5000s f/4.0 iso800 - Kept 55% from the original

And for those who missed this : :S3:

Hi Yves, these special moments not normally seen or captured is what makes images work. Well timed to capture the moment, and good to see inside the lower mandible. Maybe a little more room on the left.

Great timing ! a great and totally different aspect of a Pelican, love it for the originality, and nicely exposed and detailed as well !
