This diptych shows two versions of a willow tree in a lake at sunset: one photo taken during golden hour where the suns last rays give a golden glow across the willow branches, and one taken as the sun is setting with beautiful hues in the sky in the background and a silhouetted willow tree. There were Pied Shags, Phalacrocorax   varius, roosting in the tree at various stages over the course of the evening. Both images were taken using a neutral density filter to smooth out the water giving it a soft and dreamy appearance. To View More >>
