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!
