The Giant

Using a wide angle lens, I photographed a shag taking off on the Norwegian island of Hornøya. In the image it looks like a gigantic bird flying over all the others, but in reality the bird is flying very close to the lens and therefore appears much larger. The conversion to black and white reinforces the confusing perspective, as the details are hard to see and it is more difficult to determine the birds' relative size.
