gray and black bird

One of my photography goals during my time in Florida was to capture a Brown Pelican gliding just inches over the surface of the water from a water level perspective. It sounded rather easy to me since they tend to fly this way pretty often and I knew of a few locations that I could easily get water level. It turned out it was not as easy as I had originally thought. I eventually got the hang of it and managed to get a few decent photos with many more failed attempts. Taken along the Indian River in Sebastian, Florida.
