As I have been working on photographs taken around dawn in the marshes the colors and shadows on the white birds has surprised me. I didn’t realize just how strong it really was.

All these Ibis (and others recently published) are golden.

I know the time right after dawn is called the golden hour but this is a bit much.

Ted, I don’t think that these colors are too much. They are golden and warm! Ibises in flight are wonderful!
Thank you. I always fight with light so I am super critical.
