Hard Look

Photographed by Ali Senel

I started wildlife photography with birds. Birds taught me a lot about life. Birds have always been cowards. They always avoid people. But sometimes things can change. When it comes to a fish, the Crested Pelican can never say no to it. And he can be quite persistent, too. Just like the pelican in this photo.
