Description

Canon EOS 10D, Canon 100-400L IS lens at 100mm ISO 400, 1/1000 second at f4.5 Center-weighed metering and white balance at 5300K On a birding trip to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida, and was taking photos of many different kinds of birds. When the light faded too much for bird photos, I managed to photograph this sunset. You can see several roseatte spoonbills and snowy egrets wading in the pond on the left side of the frame. The actual scene was breathtaking, and I don't think the photo completely captured it. As usual, no filters or digital tricks were used in this photo.
