Beauty in Flight

I appreciate that pelicans in flight are an extremely popular photographic subject, however their grace and beauty in flight never ceases to amaze me. I couldn't resist this as I saw it approach.

Really excellent shot Warren...
Pelicans are some of my favourite birds and I for one never tire of looking at them...

Thanks SX. I too love watching the pelicans, particularly at the local boat ramp when fishos clean their catch. This one was in Galapagos.... very interesting colours when compared with our pure white ones in Australia.

Thanks Mr Bloke. They don't stop for me either. Believe me, this shot was more good luck than good management. Managed to swing my lens at it without falling over backwards in my usual clumsy manner! Again.... thanks.

Thanks for the good words, While I took the picture, I was not flying it. Never had the pleasure of flying a bi-wing, nice thought :D
