The flight, by Suhas Kulkarni
Canon EOS 5D Mark ll; Cosina 19-35mm lens; ISO 200; 1/640s @ f/11
Late one afternoon when the sky was full of dramatic dark clouds and only a small fraction of daylight was visible as the sun was coming out of cloud, a pelican on an electric pole was about to start a flight.
I thought the scene was very dramatic, as if the pelican was going to plunge into darkness from the light.
Don’s response
Photographer Suhas Kulkarni sized up this photographic moment with admirable speed.
The sun is in just the right position and the pelican’s position is equally dramatic.
Expressive and simple at the same time.
