Description
PERCHED PELICAN is a textured digital photograph by Carla Parris.
Pelicans are one of my favorite shore birds. They are a bit amusing to me, with their big webbed feet and their sometimes funny expressions, like the fella here who looks a little coy as he eyes us from his watery perch.
I love to see pelicans when they are flying overhead, often in formation with others; when they swoop down and glide just above the surface of the water; and when, on the St. George Island bridge or the Apalachicola bridge, they catch the thermals alongside the bridge and fly at eye level with cars crossing the bridge, going for long, long distances without the slightest flap of their wings.
This pelican is perched on a wood piling in the Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by gently lapping waves.
The original photograph has been processed with a little digital painting in Painter 2015 and with several textures, including Ocean Blues by Jai Johnson.
The palette of this beach theme image is a range of marine blues in the water and its rippling waves, and the pelican's white and gray, accentuated with touches of yellow around his eye and coral orange on his very long bill.
