In Winter Park, Florida, the oak tree in this photo with its beautiful hanging moss was cut down later due to its unhealthy condition. One day in the spring of 2020, I was so lucky to have captured the Great Egret and the old tree before it was removed! The oak branches and hanging moss framed the Egret while I waited for it to take off. Finally, my patience was rewarded, and I was able to capture an exquisite moment. During post-processing, I selected the sky to make it darker before adding the light to create a more mysterious and artistic impression. The contrast also highlighted the elegance and beauty of the Great Egret.
