Captured at Long Reef beach (Northern Beaches of Sydney), the light was a bit harsh (mid-afternoon) for my taste but I love the low flight and the wings position in this shot.
A very nice capture! Love the wing position, eye contact, and sharpness. I think you've got a bit of a bluish cast to the photo (easily fixed with Levels). I would eliminate the dark spot in the water next to the eye.
Lovely flight image of this white pelican. Wonderful low angle and wing position and excellent exposure. I agree about the black spot in the water. Thanks for sharing.
