If I was a Pelican I reckon that little surfing bit of when landing would be my favorite bit. Great shot mate

Superb image,great timing

Brilliant image Helmut.

Ha! It’s like magic… I love it! Fabulous timing, marvelous tones. Fave!

Wonderful image!

this is spectacular Helmut … gorgeous tones … and so wonderfully crisp … I love the light off his front, lifting him off the beautiful background too … really nice!!

So he was running late and you shot this just as he came back to earth! Interesting light, great plume of water behind him – and an interestingly fragmented reflection as well. Great result. Favourite for sure.

stunning shot .. I love the lighting

Excellent!!

outstanding capture

a superb shot:))

SUPERB

Just a wonderful image. it looks like a work of art that has been created by an artist with a controlling brush.. Everything is so perfect it is hard to believe that you created it with a camera. The lens may be great but the user of the camera needs to know how to make the best of the equipment!
