I almost exclusively shoot Landscapes these days. But on a recent trip to the Oregon Coast I spent some time in Brookings-Harbor, which has a huge colony of brown pelicans. Not exactly equipped to shoot birds in action, I got only a few keepers out of it. But I had a lot of fun doing something different for a change.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Jens..... you are doing well with birds!!!!! I like the exp and detail on the bird. Would rather see the wings straight (either up or down)

Congratulations

Jens, you better watch it or you will be hooked :) This is a great photo for a non bird photographer.

Careful, it's addictive! I like your composition and personally like the wing position, it's a little different.
