Same Limpkin, same branch, same time in the morning, different day [View all]

[MichaelSoE]

I have the camera set on auto white balance but I also tweaked it in post.
I increased the warmth on the first shot and increased the cool on the second. Not too much but just enough to enhance the mood of the day.



Greeting the morning
This first was taken a few days ago. There were a few cumulus clouds in the sky at times blocking any direct sun light but over all, the light was very warm. The temp was in the upper sixties. This limkin took full advantage and basked and preen for quite some time.


Sleeping in
This second shot I took this morning. Totally over cast, a bone chilling 52 degrees. The light was not only cool, it was down right frigid.
The limpkin spent most of the morning keeping his/her head under the covers, occasionally peeking out to make sure every thing was secure around the perimeter.
