Peli and Spoony

[Isac]

#1 - Yellow billed spoonbill flew in for a quick feed and was obviously reflecting on his previous visits to this wonderful place.
It must be the same one. When I call out he turns to give me a big smile.


#2 - Joined by a lone Pelican who dined in the shallows.


#3 - This is such a peaceful place to come and just paddle about ...


#4 - and catch up with a few mates.

#1 Reflecting - very punny. Seriously I like this a lot, although I would like to see the top of his head in the reflection, or crop out most of the reflection, but that would reduce the impact (and destroy your pun).

Unusual shot of the pelican in #2 with its beak inside out.

Thanks Alan. The Pelicans often do that with the lower pouch of their bill. They are just yawning. It looks weird but that's all it is.
I fixed the reflection of the Spoonbill for you. It does look better. Sometimes I get a bit carried away and in getting the eye in focus it can chop off the reflection. It's easy enough in PS to add sections to an image to get it looking better. I altered the crop as well. Cheers and thanks for the CC.

That little extra bit of reflection makes a difference Isac. I chop things off all the time and have added bits on at times.

Thanks mate, where would we be without editors?
