"Do I Jump or Don't I ?"

Phil Thomson IPA

"Do I Jump or Don't I ?"

This pelican, standing on the edge, in the dawn light, was deciding whether or not to jump in to the river. I was going to give him 10 seconds of “thinking music” but I didn’t have a CD player with me, so I just took his photo instead !!

    I like that the pelican is actually looking at you, like he is asking you, whether he should jump in or not. Nicely captured and I love the light, as usual.

    What a beautiful image, Phil. I love the blue beak against the turquoise body of the pelican, and the contrasting golden water. Love the perspective in this composition. It’s a very pleasing image :-)
