Pelicans and poles Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pelicans are huge and clumsy. It is really a sight to see this colossal bird taking off or landing on the water. But what is really remarkable that they can land on tops of hight poles with great precision and easiness. This one booked this lamp pole for himself and defended it against anybody passing by.

Hi Roman!
Really great shot! When I looked suddenly I thought it wasn't real, but it is. Really nice perspective with great colours.Were you too far when you took this photo?

Very nice picture Roman. I have never seen a pelican myself but thanks to your picture now I get a better idea of these curious birds.
This is a very good compo with good PoV. The colours of the sky and the light in the compo are just perfect. A very good picture :-)

Hello Roman,
I love these birds, full of character and charm. This one has a very unfortunate mean look about it. Excellent use of selective light, position and great moment of capture. Hope you did not park your car under this guy, they are know to white out a whole windscreen. Excellent sharpness, clarity and timing. Well done.
