Backlit heron
by Breezanemom

Viera Wetlands

We were out at Viera Wetlands before Hurricane Matthew and I couldn't help but notice this heron on a dead tree.
I love the almost silhouette that he made against the blue and white of the sky.

Definitely an example of Back Lighting!

I don't know if silhouettes without rim lighting like this is what Liz had in mind or not. There is rim light though on the bush beneath the palm tree immediately to his right. I like the shot and think it makes a terrific silhouette.
