The prehistoric look of the shot.Editing
Not much to do here... the usual, white balance, a bit of contrast, etc.In my camera bag

Aside being at the right place at the right time... be patient ! I saw that bird making a nest, so i waited for the right light to do a silhouette shot. I had to wait a hour or so to have the right light and colors.
