A perfect landing

Gold award winner in the birds in flight category
"I was photographing Australian Pelicans (Pelicanis conspicillatus) on the edge of a small mangrove swamp.   They were resting in the calm, shallow waters and the soft evening light was providing the perfect conditions to capture reflections.   I was photographing a portrait of an individual when I heard the wing beats of another bird coming in to land and took the snap".
