[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The brown pelican is also fairly common bird to observe on the ocean shoreline. This one was hoping for scraps from the local fishermen that were fileting their catch.
I framed this picture to put emphasis on the psychadelic eye and the head colouration. The light brown to yellow feathers on his head indicate it is a young adult. As he will age, those feathers will slowly turn white.
I hope you like it!

Sans doute relativement faciles à observer sur le bord de mer, mais je n'en avait encore jamais vus... jusqu'à maintenant.

Merci Geneviève.

Very interesting photo. Thank you for sharing with me. Your note is very informative too!
Thank you!

Its a nice shot, Genevieve. The overall effect quite pleasing. May I advise that to improve the composition I would have liked to see the whole beak. Why did you use the polarizer in this instance? I am new to these filters and would like to find out. Very nice post.

Bonjour Geneviève. Évidemment, ton pélican est meilleur que le mien :-). Merci de m'avoir fait connaître TrekNature et TrekEarth où je suis maintenant inscrit et où je commence à recueillir mes premiers points.

Hi Gen, you are very close to this fellow, and you show him off so well. I like his blue eyes as I can just see the right one sticking out on the other side of his head. I like the colours and closeness,
Thank you
Janice
