Whoa.....what killer light you have there. I had an evening experience like that on a reddish egret (my avatar). Talk about being at the right place at the right time....simply gorgeous.

The light doesn't get any better than this! Your choice of DOF was spot on as well. Excellent work Harvey. :) :) :)

Wonderful light, gorgeous photo. You've given me a goal to reach for when I'm in Florida next time.

Awesome light and a beautiful specimen. My only wish would be a slight head turn to the camera rather than away from it.

Ditto EJ's comments. I didn't see the halo initially. Wonder what causes it?
