Description
Entering the Emerson Point Preserve, in Palmetto Florida, I pass a tidal pool that had lots of birds in it and I spotted this one Roseate spoonbill! So turning around I went back, and he got my full attention. Walking and trying to get a good angle on him, boom it was like a spotlight lit up his little stage!!! I could not believe my eyes!! I still had to wait for him to turn and face the camera. I was not to sure how long the light would be there! But it all worked out just right as the bird looked my way, and I was ready and waiting. 45 seconds later the light was gone and the bird turned his back on me and never looked my way again! I hope you enjoy this photo I call "Spotlight"!!!

Oh my! What a moment ! What a miraculous piece of work! Every detail,ripple, is wonderfully illumined and your central roseate spoonbill character is so just so magically presented. Stunned as always! L/F
