Great Egret

Backlit Great Egret, Florida.

I love backlighting, under certain circumstances, and how it can affect mood. This gorgeous Great Egret, not yet in full breeding plumage, stood in the early morning light, with a glowing rimlight. While making exposures is difficult in situations like these, the efforts are well worth it. Taken in St. Augustine, Florida. (Ardea alba)
