So these are ravens and not currawongs. Thought they were the latter, but they aren’t. That said, I could be wrong, but they seem to be ravens from what I’ve looked into, so I’m claiming they’re ravens.

It was hot under the sun and I got to see these birds at the dunes, and it was a pleasant sighting. I can’t explain why, but I found it to be.

I like how this turned out as it feels a bit odd, perspective-wise. It’s difficult to make out the details of the dunes so the ravens almost appear as though flying against a flat space, with their shadows providing most of the suggestion of the land’s shape.

This is my submission into the three hundred-and-eighty-first Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Minimalism in Black and White Photography“.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by Ritva. The next one is curated by Egídio.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.
