| Conjuror, prestidigitator... A lot of the energy in this photo is conceptual: we wonder that the natural world can produce such a wonder and at the same time think this must have been spawned by some genious of science fiction or horror films. And yet there is the energy of other pelicans in various more familiar postures. And all set against the innocent pastel shades of sea and sky. Oh yes, this is a gem. |

This belongs int he snapshot hall of fame. It has *all* the elements of a casual snapshot, from the faded sky and the slightly skewed horizon to the arbitrary truncation of so many elements. But at the same time there's a brash *immediacy* to the whole that is captivating, and the title couldn't possibly be any better.
Well, I take that back, the title COULD be better: lose the "wild" and just call it "Maestro!"
Anyway it cracks me up, and it's in my high-seeded group for now :-) |

With the final thunderous crescendo, the orchestra's music came to a close, and his opus was done. His masterpiece, his last compositional hurrah.
With that final crash of the cymbals and bong of the drum, the fliers took off behind him in visual harmony, and the crowd went wild, and the earth stood still but for a moment, to celebrate the wonders of his finale.
Then he bowed, to standing ovation and thunderous applause, and he lay down his baton, to be picked up by whatever prodigy would come after he, and he followed the flight of the ones behind him, and was never seen nor heard from again. |
