I photographed this spoonbill a few years back at a wetland near my home. The early morning sun illuminated the reeds in the background, which resulted in the golden yellow background.

lovely bird, lovely exposure , lovely detail, lovely background. I'm never sure what to do reflection wise with these type of shots so I always try to get as low as possible.
