This picture was taken in the Oostvaardersplassen.
The dead tree turned out to be a great spot for these birds: as I watched, more and more birds came and landed on one of the branches. Until the moment a bird of prey approached whereupon they flew up en masse, and I took this photo.
At first glance, it looks like the leaves are jumping off the tree.
Executed in black and white with a nostalgic filtering for an extra atmospheric effect with the silhouette of the tree and the birds flying away. Due to the backlight, the feathers in the wings are nicely semi-transparent on some of the birds.
It is a landscape photo with the atmosphere of a still life. Fits nicely in a hallway, study or bedroom.
My advice is to choose a black baking frame with this work, then it really comes out nicer. You can choose the option on this work's page and see the effect.
Give it a try!
