Nature: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
One night before the full moon, the moon had risen over the horizon and reached the treetop. The sky was not completely dark yet. It created an excellent opportunity for capturing the moon and the flying bird in the same frame. And I was lucky enough to seize the moment when a Great Egret flew through the forest.
