The Proud Pelican's Secret
by vawendy

Comment by CNovack:
Good lighting and tones of black and white are good. I feel like the position of the pelican's head towards me is that he is staring me down. The coloration of light and dark by its eyes makes it look angry and aggressive (like he is furrowing his brows). I could read it that he is proud in the way that he is looking down upon me - like he is better than I. The 'secret' part of the title is really hard to portray/represent for it is something that is not necessarily tangible. Not sure how one would effectively represent that in the image...maybe something in the background that is hazy/mysterious in shape????

It's a killer image, and while I certainly agree with you on some level, disabling a vehicle of information isn't doing us any favors. We could also burn those books so kids might actually engage more with their parents and community.

An alternative view :)
I wonder if the feeling of endless bookshelf is not a bit constrained by the vignette, but I guess that was the intention.

excellent, wow, great photo this is my 4th 10 in 7 months on dpc, i love the almost wave like pattern of light book in the centre, im guessing there are 7 repeats of teh shelves, fantastic use of expert editing really works.is he stood on sand or dirt as well? like a distopian end to society with a wall of knowledge.

After reading your comments (and thank you for those) I was surprised to see that wasn't natural light... to me it has the feel of evening light kissing a window near by.. GREAT JOB and congrats on the Top 10!!
