Love that pelican. Near Tampa all we see are brown pelicans, and while they are a trip to watch, it's a treat to drive south where there are white pelicans. They are so pristine looking. Amazing. Common and ignored by my neighbors south...aint it funny.
Some photos look so much better in black and white and other don't. Actually I have several photos in black and white, one day I must put them on my blog.
Such a difference! I certainly prefer seeing blue water and sky. May I save that first picture for the colour? That blue is the exact shade I'd like for a carpet one day.
Pelicans are big birds. I want to see them directly. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey are big yet graceful. Hopefully one day you will get to see them in person.

ReplyDeleteYes it's odd, have only seen a photo of a brown pelican, never seen one in person.
DeleteCool pelican
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. I have never photographed a pelican.
ReplyDelete:)
Always seem to get a photo of several pelicans on our travels.
DeleteAlthough I do like the pelican, it is your third photograph that is my favourite ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
The calm sea
DeleteLove the pelican. Isn't it interesting how much more 'texture' black and white photos have?
ReplyDeleteA lot more texture in black and white photos, it's certainly different and to remember once there was only black and white.
DeleteI like the pelican in black and white but prefer the marina in colour.

La primera, me gusta en blanco y negro, la segunda en color.

I agree with you.
DeleteJust beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo-Anne.
DeleteBlack and white pictures are more beautiful..
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely for a difference.
DeleteWhat a beautiful bird the Pelican is - I actually prefer the coloured one - the beak is such a pretty shade of pink against the blue of the water.
ReplyDeletePretty colour and it appears to be a pale salmon colour.

ReplyDeleteOf course you can save that photo River and thank you for asking :)
DeleteI like the monochromes a lot! They are very successful and frameworthy! But I always enjoy seeing where you've been in color.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to have the two. Colour shows more what a place is like I think.
DeleteGreat shot of the Australian Pelican - such an elegant bird.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful.
DeleteI love the Pelican, of course. It made my day.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased it did as your birds make mine even though I'm not a birder I still enjoy seeing them.
DeleteThis is great Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI like the color shots most. So nice!!
Greetings, Marco
Thank you Marco.
DeleteBeautiful photos but I do love colour best!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine.
Deletehow lovely to sit quiet and watching sunset together listening to the silence between unconsciously :)
ReplyDeleteamazing shots ,loved the both versions ,but black and white give sense of painting rather
Very peaceful there.
DeleteHow beautiful and exciting bird is pelican. I like it in colors. You are lucky you could see it in nature.
ReplyDeleteMany of the pelicans in fishing places are often rather tame and come quite close to humans, they are looking for food.
