Good Morning Everyone,

Almost weekend and in the U.K., it is a Bank Holiday so we're all looking forward to the break!

This 'Negative' theme has been a puzzler. I did a few shots with positive and negative images and was sure which one I was going to post. Then, I shot this little bird and changed my mind completely! I not only liked the bird, but also the criss-crossing twigs.

This little bird was waiting to be fed by its parents. It sat patiently in the tree until it saw one of them approaching and then created a flurry of flapping and jigging with its beak wide open!

Birds are very caring parents. The nestling was fed at least ten times as I watched.

I positioned myself to shoot into the sun so that I would get a silhouetted, or negative image. The only pp work was to crop, change to b&w and frame it.

Thank you for your visit.
Please feel free to give feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Hello Beverley! Original POV. Good composition. Very nice B&W. Good contrast. Very nice picture. Well done!

Hi Bev,

We all seem to have been thinking long and hard for this theme. Was kind of difficult.
Love your work here, is like that paper art where skilled artist cut out silhouettes.
Very attractive with those tiny feathers sticking out of the baby - yes they sure know how to get the attention from their parents judging by the sounds I hear in my backyard, the nest to hidden to get a good view, so I decided to let them be.

Have a nice Bank Holiday then,

TFS

you can add more brightness imo Beverly. To make the silhouette stand out more. very nice framing with the branches, therefore, more simple frame will be better (my taste only)

Hiya Bev

Superb work here, well shot with good clean lines and and excellent idea for the theme with interesting notes too

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

I agree, a back lighting shot is clear a negative view. You did a very beautiful work here. The composition is fantastic.
Congrats.
Mario

Excvellent ideaBev and something I neglected to even consider. A good strong silhouette and very negative. TFS,
David

PS I had to visit the doctor this morning and there was a lovely bank of smoke sitting at the bottom of the valleys

Your work is Positive.
