When photographing wildlife, I prefer a wider angle that includes features of their environment. Viewing wildlife through the camera lens along with their natural habitat inspires me to try to highlight the sublime beauty of nature. I have been wanting to take a photo of the great egret amid this particularly unique looking pine tree for a while. After many visits to the location during the sunset, the moment finally came when the great egret flew away from the branch. My patience was rewarded, and I was able to capture the image as the golden ray of the sunset shone on the bird’s white wings.
