That is a different and peculiar pose !!! Did well with the backlit subject !!! Love that wing !!!

Hi Rachel - like the pose - different. The outstretched wing looks great.
Like it.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Rachel, Agree with others. The backlit wing makes the image...

Hi Rachel,

Thanks all. Don't know why the pelican struck that pose and it was only for a few seconds. I agree the extended wing made the image. One of those instances where luck played a large part of the image.
