Lights, Camera, but no Action...

Description

This very serene pelican graces the frame in late afternoon light on a calm ocean that resembled liquid mercury. Matheson Hammock Marina, Coral Gables, FL. Two seconds later all broke loose when the fishermen returned with their catch...

WOW!!! Thank you everyone!!! This has been such a great honor for me! I appreciate each and every one of you for taking the time to look and comment on my picture! Dick said from the beginning that the image had such a beautiful golden bronze hue from the late afternoon sun that it was sure to be recognized. We just donated a this image printed on canvas to the Kiwanis Club in Miami for an auction this Saturday - Hope it gets as many responses as I have today... Thank you all!!!! #1110162
