The soft glow of backlighting in this image was what I was looking for. Light was passing through the window in an old historic home. I used the white wall to silhouette the bowl and pitcher and pick up the texrure of the towel. Nikon V2 on monopod.
The bright colors and the siliouett of the ironwork made the image. I took the image dead on level and adjusted the window glass to get the reflection right. The window frame brought the image together. Taken in Venice with Nikon D300 on monopod.
I walked passed the anhinga then came back to take the image because of the beautiful backlighting of the wings. As I took the image I reposition the frame to have both wings silhouetted against shadow of the cyprus and the head against the tree. Nikon D7100 on monopod.
