Gliding Pelican by soboy5

Gliding Pelican

I was standing right at the edge of the beach, with my feet in the water, when I noticed this magnificent pelican gliding very close to the water, searching for his breakfast. He found it just a few moments after I took this image! This was taken 75 minutes after sunrise.
Amazing capture! Love the pelican silhouette & sunrise tones!

Nice silhouette of the pelican and I like the shimmering surface of the water in the distance.

@jgilker Thank you so much, Jessika - this guy looked so majestic as he glided by me, I was fortunate to be able to capture the shot!
@sjodell Thanks for the nice comments, Sarah - glad to see you are sticking around after finishing your project! Are you going to do another year?
@marieooi Thank you, Marie - silhouettes are easy for me to do in Tulum, for some reason!

@soboy5 I'm going to keep posting but not every day, am just taking a break at the moment, am a bit stressed so not in the right space for picking up my camera quite yet!!

@worthitall Thanks, Rashella, I felt that same power and grace as he glided by me in Tulum - I am so glad I could convey that exact feeling to you in my image!
@sjodell I know that feeling all too well, Sarah - Tulum was a mental health holiday for me! Work has been insanely stressful and somedays I just can not pick up the camera. Glad you are sticking around!

I love the warm tones! Great capture of his flight, with more drama provided by the waves behind and below him. Wonderfully captured! 8)

Another awesome shot, Danny! If he was that close, I might have dropped my camera. LOL It's a great silhouette and interesting lighting. I've never been a sunrise person, and so far this year, have posted only one to 365. It was a beauty, but the sun comes up way too early here for me to function. :)

@sandier Thanks for the nice comments, Sandie! I've been a morning person for decades, I conk out fairly early in the evening, however!
