There's something about Pelicans On A Post in B&W.

The first is especially like solemn statue and the last one is an interesting composition because of the defocused background; those stilts/posts appear like headstones in a cemetery with the birds keeping watch.

Don't know but they have a solemn, quiet and sculpturistic stillness to them although they are in motion and probably are in noisy conditions whith the sea birds and waves filling with sounds.

Nicely taken. Dramatic.

Thanks for sharing, JBTaylor,

And, happy belated birthday! I saw that you had your birthday a short while ago but forgot to leave a comment. :) Enjoy your new age!

Thanks Yildiz. Yes it was my birthday last week. Spent it in the Florida Keys by myself (and the camera gear). Many pictures to process and post.
More to come.

Wishing you many happy returns of the day, JB. The third one is a keeper in my books.
