    POINTILLISM

    "RED RED RED RED RED RED ORANGE, RED RED ORANGE..." (Sondheim) This stunning juvenile copperhead was resting squarely on the juncture of two logs I usually use as a perch to capture the herons and cormorants on a nearby branch at Airlie Gardens. One more step and I may have had a very different afternoon, but as it turned out, he offered me nearly an hour and a half of close up shooting with my 100mmm Macro Canon lens. What I found most fascinating in seeing this beauty up close were the tiny multi-colored dots of pigment that give hum the copper hue of his namesake. The eyes, the scales, every inch, tiny little dots of color, much like a pointillism painting. A stunning creature. NPOTY OE

    This stunning white ibis in the moment he becomes aware of me in the nearby brush, shooting through overgrowth getting focus was a challenge, but this capture speaks to the moment beautifully.
