Landing and Take-oof

Landing and take-off. A photo showing the simultaneous landing of a heron and the take-off of a cormorant. An old photo from the 90s scanned from a Kodak Ektachrome slide. The photo was taken with a Nikon F90, Nikon 300mm lens. Thanks for your comments

Beautifully captured moment, Giangiorgio! Enchanting light, color, silhouettes plus reflections ... Landing, parking and takeoff like at Cagliari airport. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

this image shows the continuity in your work; you are still defining the ultimate morning silhouette image more than 20 years later, your technicals have grown with the evolution of equipment. Very nice to have a landing and a bird in take-off in the same image. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Tony I am glad you liked and appreciated this photo, many thanks for your visit and beautiful comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio, I just love backlit images like this. As a result, we not only have jet black silhouettes, but also shimmering midtones and sparkling highlights. Another treat is the inclusion of 2 species of birds. Each of the birds are engaged in different activities, though. To me, this adds a great deal of interest. Finally, the melange of golds and oranges is nothing short of hypnotic. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Many thanks Michael for your generous comment , I am glad you appreciated it, ciao Giangiorgio
