Description
This is an image of a Roseate Spoonbill that I took at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. I have added several processing to get this affect. Kind of an experiment.
*******************
This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. In the United States a popular place to observe Roseate Spoonbills is "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Roseate Spoonbills must compete for food with Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Tricolored Herons, and American White Pelicans.

L it is so much fun to experiment and play around with different effects. This one turned out nicely. The texture is interesting. The change in the color tones works well be the effect.
