Bat on Black
I love this shot of a fruit bat. And dear kind Julie Langford has worked her magic again by adding a black background. Doesn’t it enhance the shot and add another dimension and a certain atmosphere? Thanks Jul

Excellent comp and framing. julie did a wonderful job, and indeed having a black background does emphasize the bat itself. I think that the real magic of this capture is the way all the dark black tones and hues are shown.. even subtle differences are well presented…

Thanks Eyal
