Life is a drag, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

I like this image for the way the brown Pelican tucks his legs in as close as possible to reduce drag to maintain lift. Especially with the large head and very strange body for a bird. But he does not realize that....he just flys.

Hello Jimmy,
An excellent and pin sharp photo of this pelican. Its brown and white colours stand out so well from the blue sky and the patterns on its body and wings are beautiful with also an appealing repetition. Very well captured.

Excellent work Jimmy, the details of the plumage are wonderful.
And there seems to be no blur as the brown Pelican flies over. You did so well to get the whole bird within the frame.
Good title, no drag here!
Kind regards
Jean

I like your wild life photos. Last time I wrote critique on eagle (The Symbol) and this time another fantastic shoot.
Great quality of the picture so we can see many details of wings and feathers. Well done!
Best regards,

Hi Jimmy,

The tight frame is putting the bird in evidence. The point of view is showing the details of the Brown Pelican. The colors and the sharpness are very good. Have a nice day.
