Birds in Silhouette

The image is very close to untouched. I did convert it to black-and-white (and cropped some superfluous white sky), but the original photo did not have much colour in it anyway. It was a featureless overcast day, and the tree and the birds were severely, if purposefully, underexposed.

This is one of the rare photographs where my original vision matched up with the final product reasonably well. But when I first saw this photo, I thought my vision was crap, because it didn't look that great to me at the time. That was about 4 months ago.

Last week, I found this photo in my collection, and decided that it was worth showing to other people. Here we go.
