Rosy Pelican

Gallery: AvianPosted January 23, 201793 views3 comments

This great looking bird was actually caught by large Turtle, under the water. But Pelican was a huge bird for Turtle to bring down. So after struggle of five minutes or so, it managed to free itself. At the point of taking this picture, it was still caught.

Beautiful, Jagdeep. The expression on the bird's face and the green water is very interesting . Maybe a little more room on the left so the wing isn't clipped would be nice, but I like this. devil

Interesting, Jagdeep. I wonder if the turtle really thought it could take the pelican or if it just clamped onto a foot thinking it was something else. Gorgeous light and I like the framing you chose. Excellent image.

I like the green duck weed in the water, it goes well with the Pelican's color. Nice pose and light but I do wish it had a little more room all around.
