That is an awesome series, love # 2 and 3. Thanks for posting them.

As the others said, great series! That second one looked like the pelican was on a collision course. Great example of foreshortening.

later on we had some better weather that day
and i had the opportunity to do some close-up portrait shots

Bruce · 01-21-2012, 04:05 AM

Some very nice shots there Jan, I just love that 2nd one!

**Cee Cee** · 01-21-2012, 05:56 AM

incredible series, #2 looks like a full on attack until you see the next shot and work out whats going on, the portrait is just sensational as well!

cheers
