Thanks, Vesna. It was 5:30 am and the sun was just rising behind them. It was a shock to see them together like that, and I worried about the detail with the backlight. Guess I was just lucky.

P.S. Spent some wonderful days on the Island of Solta in your beautiful country!

Absolutely fantastic shot! Love the colours and the birds together! And I'm pretty sure it wasn't just luck, LazDivaz.

Oh, no! I accidentally hit the exclamation icon, and it took me to the inappropriate post page. Sorry. Hope it didn't take....
Haven't been on the site for a few months, and everything has changed. So sorry. Your comment was MOST appropriate, and very much appreciated.
Thanks, Joo!
