Clinton Fick, Icarus (ANIMALS 2025)

This image was captured at Forster, NSW, Australia. The pelican flew directly overhead and with a bit of luck I timed this to capture the sun touching the wing. A 1x2 crop seemed to suit the image perfectly. Sony A7R3, Tamron 50-400mm at 50mm, 1/1000 sec, f/8, ISO 100
