• Story of the image

  I was at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. The farm hosts many wild birds for nesting as the alligators below protect the nesting birds from predators such as feral cats and raccoons. It was a warm afternoon and a roseate spoonbill entered the water to bathe. Because the bird was lighter in color than the water and background, I underexposed so that the water and background would be black. The roseate spoonbill is a beautiful bird, especially in breeding plumage, prompting my trip.
