Seabirds enjoying the evening sun. What a day was it: all day sailing, on a sea so calm it looked like a pond!

It looks very beautiful. Where is the place you are visiting?

[Caterina]

Beautiful and simple: your style!

[Brett]

Definitely a very unique photo - hope they enjoyed their rest!

[Taffy]

Great use of b&w - the silhouettes and use of space work so well.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@365street it is. I am in North Sardinia, the sea is the Strait of Bonifacio, between Sardinia and Corse. Thank you!
@caterina too kind of you!
@brett101 I tried not to disturb them... thank you very much!
@taffy thanks a lot, Taffy! Natural b&w in this case, as I did not desaturated the original shot. The backlight drained the color from anything.

The light shows up in both stark and subtle ways in this theme. It is a lovely composition.

[KWind]

They make great silhouettes.

@helenhall it was such a peculiar light! I'm glad I managed to convey the feel. Thank you very much.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Thank you, they are elegant indeed!
