The Art of Ascent in a Sea of Grayscale: In Tallinn, Estonia, I caught this moment of a bird about to soar away from the sandy shore. The water behind was calm, with ripples that glistened in the light. It was all in black and white, making the contrasts and textures stand out. The bird's wings were spread, capturing the essence of movement, while everything else was still, giving me a sense of quiet before the flight.
