18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Mobile
Lost habitats

I captured this pelican bird with the background of a construction sites at slave island, Sri Lanka. I saw this bird and the beautiful sunset from far away and then I went to the location and captured as I needed. Used my Iphone 8 plus. Day by day we are destroying lot of natural places and habitats for our sake. I wanted to express that feeling using this photograph.
