Waterfowl perched by the Skokie Lagoons


After taking pictures of the construction at New Trier, I went over
 to the kayak launch at the Skokie Lagoons to get a few landscape 
shots of the trees at sunset. A green heron and a flock of cormorants 
caught my attention, and I tried to creatively capture the birds with 
the wider lens that I had brought with me.


I really like the chaotic stability that tree branches have. With the way
 I framed these photos, it looks as though the branches are 
bursting out of somewhere while simultaneously remaining still
 because of the calmness of the birds that are perched on them. The 
orange light also added a nice tint to the scene.
