Silhouette: herons and cormorants (Ardea cinerea and Phalacrocorax carbo)

This picture when I showed it to some friends loved it.


This is a shot of a few months ago on the shores of Lake Maggiore.


Do you think can be improved?

I like it too Gianluca. Never been brave enough to try uploading my 'accidental' silhouettes because they've never turned out this well LOL.

I love the pose you've captured too. Very well done and thanks so much for sharing it with us.

It is not really "accidental" ...... I was photographing the heron backlit when I realized the arrival of the cormorant and I have adjusted accordingly :D

Excellent double silhouette with one perched and the other flying with a gorgeous background. First-rate Gim!!!
