 Was panning and shooting when the American White Pelican went behind some trees I was hiding behind. This is the result, really like the feel of the photograph. Taken with my Fuji X-E1 and a 33 year old Canon FD 400mm ƒ4.5 Manual Focus Lens.

Only editing done was running it thru Tone Mapping in HDR Efex Pro 2.

Wow, this photo is doing a lot better than I thought it would in a free study. Super happy about all the wonderful comments so far.
