A Spoonbill Ibis stands on an alligator in a tropical setting.
This composition is available in a vertical format also. Here’s a simple but profound composition. A beautifully ugly Spoonbill Ibis stands clueless on the leg of a large alligator camouflaged in the shadows of an Indian Laurel tree. Here is an ideal portrait of the principle known as “Natural Selection,” – or to put it simply – “the dumb ones get eaten.” I wanted to name this piece, “dumb AND ugly,” but I couldn’t bring myself to demean one of God’s beautiful creations. Again, my apologies to this nobel creature, but he is really one of the ugliest birds I have ever photographed. So he now stands nobly, majestic and clueless, in annuls of all picturedome, as a picture perfect example of a universal truth found in God’s Word (Proverbs 14:12): “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
