Brown Pelican in Flight Over Ocean Waves – California Coastal Wildlife Fine Art Photography

Rising with the first light of day, a brown pelican sweeps low above the shifting ocean surface — wings fully extended, catching the soft glow of sunrise along the California coast. Captured from water level, this perspective brings collectors directly into the moment, where the boundary between sea and sky blurs into clean pastel tones.

The textures of the pelican’s feathers glow subtly in warm morning light, while the soft, rolling water adds motion and atmosphere without distraction. This fine art wildlife piece highlights the elegance, power, and precision of one of California’s most iconic coastal birds, rendered with painterly softness and striking clarity.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate ocean wildlife, minimalistic coastal compositions, and large-format prints that bring an elevated, peaceful energy into a home or gallery space. Offered as a limited-edition archival print crafted to museum-quality standards.

I use Dye Sublimation on high-quality ChromaLuxe aluminum panels. The ChromaLuxe aluminum is the highest quality aluminum panel made specifically for dye sublimation. What makes a ChromaLuxe panel superior to everything else is its high quality coating that absorbs the ink and results in a HD print that can't be matched by any other printing medium.
