Photographer’s Note
A diving pelican in Manual Antonio National Park. I was lucky to capture this beautiful bird behind a rock. There was a huge splash of waves at the moment of taking picture.

Good moment with a maybe unexpected help to capture this unusual image. The splashing water and the horizon line up with the breast of the bird make a strange effect. The pelican can be flying but it looks also as he was swiming.
I think that a rotation clockwise to eliminate the tilt of the horizon can be helpful.

Good action shot, I wont ask how many shots you attempted at capturing this :)
The water spray really gives a sense of action in this shot and makes it a bit more interesting.

Excellent capture! I think the splash already taken over the bird behind. It will be better if splash of waves is smaller
