Lakescape - 445 (Pelecanus crispus)

On that evening ...
... the setting was
glorious ...
Sun ... was barely
a meter above horizon
and sending out near
horizontal light ... from
the side ... that was
so beautifully right ...

The Sun ... formed a lovely
... little dot
in the tiny pupil
of this huge, happy
and handsome hunk of a
Pelican ... among
the largest surviving ...
flying birds today
with wing-span reaching
above 11 feet ...

... obviously ...
oblivious of the fact that
his species is hurtling
down the slope
of survival ...

Watch them biggies in a
video-clip, I uploaded today ...

Great exposure and detail, Alok; strong sunlight makes light-coloured subjects difficult
 
The white plumage of this pelican stands out beautifully against the deep blue water. Excellent detail too. This is a splendid shot, Alok.

You really did have beautiful light of this magnificent pelican Alok, and you've got such lovely feather detail too.

Very well done getting up so early to get this image my friend. Many thanks for sharing it with us and for the lovely video too.

Hope the patient is well on the road to recovery now.
