One of my favorite animal is Pelican. For me it's wonderful bird. Have you seen Finding Nemo, movies animation.  We know that Pelican is helping Nemo's father and Dori to meet Nemo.

This animal have inspired us for many character, for book, poem, stories, movie and others. One of classical Pelican poem : 

A wonderful bird is the pelican,

His bill will hold more than his belican,

He can take in his beak

Enough food for a week

But I’m damned if I see how the helicon!

Technical

This photo was shoot in Zoo Park, I shoot it with Nikon D7000, with basic  standar kit lens, 18 – 105 mm. In this photo I tried experiment using set color in Vivid Color. 

Just   make a photo with simple basic technic.  Used speed and apecture, find a good metering, looking suronding, find nice angle, nice composition,  and shoot it. Just use your intuitions.

This look simple and easy, but need patient, good moment and lot of practice. 

Don’t think to much, enjoy it, made it with smile, so you would get nice picture.
