Photographer's Note
Pelicans rest in Pumicestone Passage on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. In the background is the northern tip of Bribie Island and the Norfolk Pines beyond are at Caloundra on the Australian mainland.
Australian Pelicans are a large waterbird measuring 1.6 to 1.8 metres long and have a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.5 metres. They are predominantly white with black along the primaries of the wings. Their pale pinkish bills are enormous and are infact the largest bills in the avian world - the record being 49 cm in length.

Hello Marlene,
Not many colours here, so in a way maybe something is missing. On the other hand it's a very nice and peaceful view and it must have been a pleasant experience to watch this.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Marlene,This scene perfectly suits the panoramic treatment,its such a relaxing image to view,maybe its on account of all the verticals.The mist or haze behind the foreground trees make the distant pine stand out.We will have to wait on a close to fully appreciate the pelicans bills.The arrangement of the birds with one leaving the frame works so well,good timing.Thanks Tom.

dear Marlene,
what a peaceful view!
for pelicans and moreover for us.
two layers of horizontal woods are very graceful,
and this a little foggy air makes excellent perspective with good depth.
the water surface reflects not the sky but natural shining of creatures on the earth.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Marlene,
a splendid view of this place with the Pelicans to rest in the islet so near to the beach.I like this pink colour of the scene as the tranquillity and the calmness of the scene.Well done.
Regards,danos

Hello Marlene,
the view is rather nostalgic - or maybe also sad... a bit cold. In any case, rather unusual, colourwise! the composition is excellent. But I should say that this scene provokes thoughts... meditation, maybe?? Also, it reminds me of old traditional Chinese paintings.
Warmest wishes from Moscow!
Elena
