Description

A pelican is captured mid-flight just above the surface of a choppy ocean, wings fully extended as it takes off near a dramatic rocky cliff face. Water splashes against the rock and around the bird's feet, creating dynamic action in the lower right portion of the frame. The background features a vast expanse of open water meeting a distant horizon under a pale blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. Natural daylight illuminates the textured surface of the rock and the detailed plumage of the bird's wings. This coastal nature photograph was captured by photographer Sebastien Zanella.
