Spoonbill Reflection, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

Summer at J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Reserve is normally very quiet with very few birds spening the summer in Florida. However, this past summer was a major exception. On this particular day there were about 100 roseate spoonbills like this one enjoying the summer day.

Canon 400mm f2.8 lens w/ 2x teleconverter.

hello Gregory

I am amazed by the perfect tight framing (crop the original?) of this spoonbill and its reflection in the water, well lighted against the dark background. You've waited for a movement of the wings to press the shutter.
Congratulations
CLODO

Hi Gregory
Exceptional wildlife shot of a spoonbill that's difficult to get within lens range at the best of times. I've really enjoyed looking at this you've taken brilliantly, such detail on the bill and legs and wings. What a peaceful picture such eye-catching pinkish in the natural dark environment, indeed awesome shot in the mids of lovely glimpses of soft warm light and gentle reflection. A delightful nature photography, Well done
Warm regards
