I captured this image at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida before the pandemic. I am reaching into the past and reprocessing images with the new tools in Lightroom and new skills learned. Gatorland is difficult for photography because of the numbers of birds at times and closeness together and whatever the background is. Working tight with a long lens works sometimes. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
