The Sun Behind Something in Black and White

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.
