22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
EAT AND FLY

Silhouette photography of birds captures the striking contrast between the delicate shapes of the birds and the luminous backdrop. The lack of visible detail in the birds' features focuses the viewer's attention on their overall form and movement.The simplicity of silhouette photography allows the viewer to interpret the image in various ways, often evoking feelings of tranquility or a sense of nature’s raw beauty. Birds, in particular, lend themselves well to this style because of their fluid, dynamic shapes and motion.
