When the Moon Rises (Series)
DESCRIPTION
During breeding seasons in the Spring, Great Egrets build their nests on trees to prevent predators’ attack. Their high positions provide a great opportunity for me to photograph them with the moon in the background. On a clear night of a full moon, it was so bright that I could actually use the natural moonlight to capture these magical and dreamy moments. These images were captured in Central Florida, United States.
