This photo has been altered. The sun would be reflecting in the water and the trees would be silhouettes. Also you can see the the sun is on the birds back side.

I know the photographer noted the shot made in Everglades. However, with the dark water, it could just as easily been made in the Low County (black water and marshes) of South Carolina... and we have loads of wading birds, egrets in particular. However, these may be great white herons, not egrets? Wonder if the photographer will have copies for sale. CC

So perfect others think it is too perfect - birds lighting questioned. Did you ever hear of reflected light?? Come on - there are other natural light sources in this photo.
I think it is perfect! Joan

Stunning. The way the light animates is breath taking. Thank you.

Pretty but it looks like it has been photoshoped. The sun is in the background, the bird in the foreground is properly backlit but the other bird is lit from the front right.

This is a magnificent photograph!

A gorgeous photo, but if it's been enhanced, it need to be said so. I'm wondering how, with the sun in the background, the fronts of the birds appear to have light shining on them from other angles instead of directly from behind.

A perfect photo capturing an awesome moment in time at the Everglades. Fantastic!

I have always wanted to go to the everglades for this very reason. Amazing light! Awesome photo! Love the title!

I would like to know the details of how she accomplished this image. Shadows from water plants falling on water suggests light coming from behind left while shadows on birds and stumps show hard lighting from behind right and the sunset is directly behind them all which should have shadows falling forward and back-lighting the birds. Looks like three separate images to me. Then again, if that's the case, this is an excellent example of Photoshop craftsmanship. Kudos for that as well as the quality of the three images. Beautiful in any case.
