Birds? I don't see any birds.

Oh, they are far away and I had only a 50mm lens :)


Of course, I was trying some humor, I hate titling pictures. My alternative was "Trees".
Sorry... :)

…

Maybe, you could hear them well? Even with being visible (the birds), I like the shot very much.

Thanks Francois.
There the river is some 150m wide, I think.
I guess they were silent,.
But now and then I saw one or two small dots against the sky landing on the branches.
That betrayed them ;)

It is an effective image, conveying a certain mood.

PS: My interpretation is, the birds are just outside the frame 😀

Thank you, Frans. Before I saw your comment, I tried enlarging the image hugely and couldn't see any birds. I started to worry that maybe I needed to buy a new 200-inch monitor, or have my eyes replaced.

It's a fine photo of trees at a river's edge.

Now you're making fun of me...
You see them in the three croppings...don't you? :-\

The title whas just a tribute. The invisible birds brought my attention to the trees  ;)

I also did! Maybe "Where is Waldo?" could have worked?
