Pelicans perch with their reflections

Sometimes I come across a scene and think, wow, that looks pretty cool. Such was the case with this image.

I was out on a trail, hoping to find something worth photographing. The skies were a dingy gray somewhat dampening my enthusiasm and hopes to find anything. On a pond, these two American white pelicans were perched on an old, crusty piece of concrete.

The water was the same color as the gray skies above, creating a virtually blank slate surrounding the birds on their perch, other than their reflections in the water below. Unfortunately, there was just enough of a hint of a breeze to keep the reflection from being perfect but I still find myself really liking this image.
