Robin Silhouette and freshly fallen snow
An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) provides an interesting silhouette on a snowy day in Maryland. A few days ago, I decided to take a walk in the snow near my house (snow in late March is pretty rare for Maryland). The snow was picturesque and it was fun seeing a few Robins feeding for worms in an exposed patch of grass. I got down on the ground and achieved just the right angle so that the nearby snow bank was in the foreground of my shot with distant snow in the background. This combination gave me a unique all-white background. I fixed my settings for a silhouette to give a bit of shadowy contrast to the high-key image. This shot was just what I had envisioned!
