CommentThis photo of a Pelican was taken early in the morning on a local estuary that had floods in recent weeks. The dark waters gave the opportunity to play with the light contrast and capture this Pelican coming into land on the water. A fairly common bird around here but beautiful in action and with the play of light. One of my favourites for 2025.
