Cheng Kang, Pelican on a Sparkling River (ANIMALS 2024)

The early morning sunlight created a crazy bokeh effect with the river sparkles. An Australian pelican glided by slowly, and when it was isolated from the other birds, I captured the shot with back light. The minimal color in the scene made it perfect for a black-and-white conversion.
