Sun / Birds - Pelicans Squadron - IMRAN™

            Sun / Birds - Pelicans Squadron - IMRAN™
During the middle of my photoshoot with the two ladies who were next to me enjoying a hot Florida summer photoshoot, several pelicans overflew the home several times. I guess they also were enjoying the view, though I was more worried about a massive bird poop bombing run over us. 
I snapped a few photos shooting vertically up. The 14-years old Nikon D300's sensor did such an awesome job of capturing the sun and its rays almost like the image was created in an illustration program. 
The lens flares are so genuine that JJ Abrams ({in}famous for inserting them into many of his movies' scenes!) would want to buy the photo! It is interesting how one of the lens flares almost looks like a tiny pink parachute near the second bird.
The camera also managed to catch the details of the four birds, and their wings' trailing edges glowing from the light. I reduced this from a 70MB image to just about 15 to save space.
I had no chance to frame with any more or less of the cloud wisp in the lower left corner. But instead of erasing it in Photoshop I decided that was a good place to place my name watermark.
