These are two of my favorite photographs from the Smithsonian Magazine's 7th Annual Photo Contest. In Cormoran fisherman the silhouettes in the mist look like a stage backdrop. More dramatic effects with silhouettes are seen in A great migration. You can enlarge the pictures by clicking on them.
You can see many beautiful photographs by the winners and finalists by visiting Smithsonian.com .
I agree they are both stunning pictures. Diane
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous! My daughter is living in China right now so the one in China stands out to me. Beautiful!

They are wonderful photos. If real, there's a lot to be said for reality.
