I silhouette a quartet of Brandt’s Cormorants standing along the edge of the rockbound shoreline of Point Lobos. They have been feeding on fish by diving headfirst into the ocean. The first cormorant in line here is drying its wings. If I had photographed these birds against the rocks or the green waters of the ocean, they would have been much more difficult to see. By silhouetting them against the white surf, they dominate the image, even though they are very small in relationship to the entire scene here.
