The sunset afterglow colors were turning in an unbelievable combination of fluorescent hues, while I was desperately looking for some interesting subject to use as a silhouette. Being myself in a urbanized area that day, I couldn't really hope to find some "true" wildlife, when a curious (and hungry) goose visited me begging for bread. I choose to use a strong wide-angle to create a perspective contrast between the bird and the trees in the background.
