Contre Jour in the Rose Garden

It was a great day for Contre Jour Photography

Clear skies, low winter sunshine which in this case resulted in some beautiful rim lighting and long shadows.

I used the pergola of the rose garden to create a frame within a frame of the two ladies and their dog on a lead.

Shot with Ruby on a lead in one hand and my Sony RX100 VII in my other hand

Lovely black and white! Nice light on the tree branches looks almost like a web.
