Pelican Scoops Fish in Manila Dawn Light

by Joyce Nicholson

Cold silver dawn light spills over the water near Binondo, Manila, illuminating a great white pelican mid-action. The bird dips its massive bill into the dark, rain-slicked surface, creating a chaotic splash that catches the early morning glow. Wet feathers ruffle against the humid air, while distant concrete embankments and tangled fishing nets line the riverbank in soft focus. The low angle emphasizes the bird's imposing beak and the sheer force of the scoop. Ripples expand outward, distorting the reflection of the gray sky. One droplet rests on the tip of the curved bill, suspended before falling back into the murky water.
