CommentA Red-Tropic Bird soars above the 30 m wide sea channel along the shadowed basalt cliff face with the sun behind it. The challenges at the time were, the whiteness of the bird backlit in sunlight around 1 pm, the cliff face in shadow and a bird in flight to boot. I find the result visually appealing and different from anything I have achieved.
