Any Silhouette Photographs?

Gasteracantha cancriformis, which I usually spot as a silhouette against the sky (they run lines between branches).

Here’s a different angle on a different one:

Just yesterday I heard a Wood Duck, or Maned Duck, or Maned Goose (Chenonetta jubata). We have seen them high up in our forest trees before. This one was calling and I saw her mate circling so hopefully there’ll be ducklings or goslings around soon. She was so high up that the photos I took (through a gap in the forest) were blurred, but enough to identify. A couple of the photos came out as silhouettes, which I love.

Kind of a silhouette. I was out blacklighting - Not sure why the color came out like this - I didn’t alter this in any way.

Yet another potential great album cover. In fact a lot of the photos in this thread fall into that category

I don’t have much, but I guess this one of European Starlings.

Luckily the Trumpeter Hornbill is distinctive enough in silhouette to ID as these were the only shots I will probably ever get of one https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/171294564
