Harmony In Nature [Photo of the Day]
Uploaded: November 03, 2008 10:16:00
A white pelican at White Rock Lake in Dallas.
I debated the crop and finally decided that the centering of the subjects and the empty space emphasized the harmony.
Title changed from "Symmetry In Nature."

This made me laugh out loud when I opened it! Great catch! Congratulations on your POTD., also. Well-deserved! I may have cropped it down further so 'they' filled the frame more, but I absolutely agree that centering 'them' gave it the most visual impact. #6788608Robert Baer November 22, 2008
