This is the landing of the White X-mas Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos).

I spend very enjoyable months on TN and learned heaps from your posts, workshops, and critiques, and am looking forward to continue to have such fun and improve.

Thank you all folks, and Merry X-mas!

Gabi

P.S. The presents he brings are fishy as usual (and not TOS-compatible really) but at least they are stored out of sight in his POUCH
;-)

In the workshop pouch you hopefully will find for a present (provided it is not removed for “excessive postprocessing”, i.e. the “Merry X-mas” writing on it), a Christmas card for you TN Trekkies to send to friends and family if you like.

Hi Gabi,

Such wonderful sharpness and the perfect reflection in the water. For me the shot of the day, thank you very much, bye

Hello Gabi,
Very nice capture with perfect POV.Excellent composition,very good details and colours.TFS

Very nice landing shot, exposure is right on the money very clear details, I didn't like the generic text on the workshop, however I did like the cleverness, so I gave it a little bit more spice. Happy Holidays! :)

Hi Gabi,
Looks like you had the big glass to reach the White pelicans and take this beautiful shot. I lacked about 200-250mm to get a more frame filling shot. They would never get close enough to the road for me. Excellent pose and timing here. Beautiful colors, and great clarity. Outstanding shot!

Here is a perfect example of what you were talking about in your comment on my ground squirrel shot. A tight and centered crop that brings the focus on the subject. Excellent composition and sharp details. Also great job on the whites. Well done, Gabi, and TFS. : )

Hi Gabi,
Wooooow, it's a crash landing here.

Gabi, great moment, great photo.

A very nice composition and excellent sharpness to show us this decisive moment.

I like pov and colors too. Great exposure and details.

What a beautiful pose for this reflection.
He seems to have chosen the only flat reflective part of the water for you to take the shot.
Great crop, we can see a lot of details. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Felipe.
