I captured these silhouettes of a pelican perched on a pole at Woodmans Point a week ago. As I was shooting almost directly into the sun, there is very little colour in these photos.

Great shots! Which of the two pictures do you like best, and why?

@Richard: tough question to pick my favourite out of these two - I like both images, as the bird's pose is very different in each, giving the photo a different feel.
