Jan and I were out shooting again yesterday in the rain at Colchester Zoo and she's beaten me to it with the first posts (no surprise there!). There were soooo many great pelican shots to choose from, but I've gone for this. Partly because I can probably just about get away with it as an entry for the contest. As for the title, do you remember the film 'Storm Boy'? I loved that film. Cheers for yesterday Jan!

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
What a beauty of a shot, Nigel. I love the darkness of the water in contrast to the white Pelican. I hope it does well in the contest, as it should.

Perfect picture under any profile. Crisp, accurate, well balanced.
This is your style.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Your trip with Jan to the zoo seems to have been a photographer's dream come true Nigel, as the quality of the images coming from you both is wonderful. This ,slightly scruffy bird it has to be said, is captured wonderfully and certainly meets all the criteria for the contest. Good luck.

Percival is a horrible name for man or beast. What did this poor bird do to deserve it? Great detail however. This is a keeper. Your really posting some good ones.

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
Just a stunning image Nigel, the detail and clarity are superb and bonus points for taking the title from an Australian classic:)
