Pelican Duo

Brown pelicans are famously gregarious birds, usually seen resting or plunging into coastal waters alongside a flock mate. Here, Mike Warner captured that paired behavior by etching two of them side-by-side within a framed landscape, rendering the distinct long beaks, pouch outlines, and wing feathers into the thin sheet metal. I particularly like how the fine photo-etching keeps the duo clear and readable even in a compact earring size, whether you collect the gold or silver-rhodium finish.
