Klaus, this picture is truly breathtaking! And I love that extra little bit of color from whatever it is standing on.

Man – that is a nice picture! I’d love to see one of those. I hardly saw any brown pelicans in NC. I began to think those fake owls really do keep them away! Bummer!

Very good back lighting That is one large pelican! I have no idea how many inches go into a meter but the Aussies only have one type of Pelican who are up to 1.9m with 2.6m wingspan. I really like the orange eye ring and bill/pouch!

Wonderful shot. I don’t remember seeing any pelicans when I lived in Florida, although one of my sunset pictures at Lake Apopka did have about half dozen large white birds off in the distance. Could have been pelicans. I really enjoy your pictures. Sorry I haven’t visited for a day or two.

I am ALWAYS in awe of your photography, Klaus. I think I have probably asked you before, so please forgive me for repeating myself, but I am very curious as to what camera/equipment you use.

This is a fantastic photo.

Misty Dawns last blog post..My Girl Mo

What superb lighting! All the nuances without losing a bit of detail. Wonderful composition too!

All the lovely details of his feathers are beautiful in this photo- just love the pose! I would love to be able to capture shots like this! Need to sign up for photography lessons & learn how to use the camera.

Stunning shots Klaus, very impressive birds this one, they look so great in flight also.

Impressive looking! Love how you can see all the little feathers of the neck and the back and wing feathers….great photo!

Klaus: Is he on a boat ramp? You got a very nice shot today of a good looking bird.
