| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| pelican, ancient A term of respect and admiration rendered to a revered, accomplished, experienced professional aviator, normally one with 5000 hours or more of flying, and noted for unparalleled airmanship. The term "ancient pelican" was notably used in referring to the lead character, Dan Roman, at the closing of The High and the Mighty, Ernest K. Gann's classic story of bravery and resolve. This book was made into a 1954 movie screenplay, with John Wayne playing that lead role. |

Very unusual shot, I like this vertical perspective, great colors indeed and the pelicans contrasting the blue sky look amazing.
Best regards,

Hello Assi!
Very good framing, marvelous colours and the decisive moment exactly. Also, the birds' expression makes them very sympathetic!
Bravo!
Hi Assi.
A great shot this one. Composition is the better of the picture, given by this special point of view. Pelicans makes a very nice subjetc to the picture. Colors are wonderfull and those clouds on the sky too. Congratulations for this nice picture.
Angel.
