  There is a funny story behind this picture.

There is an old tree were the cormorants roast each night. I decided to sit in the tall grass and wait for them to land. I didn't know that they all empty there digestive tract just before they alight.

I ended up with wet, white globs all over my camouflage clothing. I couldn't wait to get home and take a shower.

  Wonderful silhouettes, contrasting colors, and DD work. No doubt your "shower" was worth it, Irene, since this beautiful image got the gold (and deservedly so).
A belated Congratulations to you!
