I thought converting on of my Pelican shots to black and white would be a good idea. I'm quite pleased with this and hope you like it too.

A reminder of my previous post featuring these birds: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/50714840

Please view large, on black. Thanks for looking.

Drôle d'oiseau : une sorte de mariage entre un "cygne" et un" fou de bassan." On dirait un vénérable vieux juge Anglais (sans sa perruque) Je crois aussi que le noir et blanc accentue cette évocation. Amitié. Jean Paul

Very kind comments from you all...................very much appreciated.

Amelia Heath kindly put this poem in the comments on my earlier Pelican images. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing it here:

“A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?”

― Dixon Lanier Merritt

Have a great weekend everyone!

BW makes the pelican look very elegant! The composition is perfect, plenty of space to make you feel it's swimming into the frame.

Thanks Gudrun...............all my Pelican shots were cropped to remove unattractive fencing in the background.

I do like it and I've never heard of a Dalmatian pelican!
2 years ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Diane Putnam club
Thanks Diane. They're the largest variety of pelican apparently. I think the name relates to the part of the world they originally come from: Dalmatia (part of Croatia) - but that's just an assumption, I could (and often am) be wrong!!
