This is a stunning and atmospheric image. The bird is clearly blocking part of the sun. The angle of the bird and how the rays of light burst from it are stupendous. I like the inclusion of the fence in the foreground as it adds interest and a base to the image. It lifts you up into the shaft of light in the ocean and then onto the main focus area. Technically the image is pin sharp and extremely well composed with wonderful tones and contrast. A very worthy winning image. Congratulations and thankyou for entering.

For this contest I am looking for your black and white photos where the sun is behind something and partially obscured. The subject the sun is behind is completely up to you but some of the subject should be blocking part of the sun. Please only enter photos in black and white.
