Kind of. Some of the definitions I have read on the net would certainly include it although I would classify it more as a silhouette. Perhaps a few moments later, you might have found somewhere within the scene where some of the geese were well lit by the sun rising over the building (I'm assuming it was morning) while there were still plenty of areas in deep shade.

Speaking for myself (so the other moderators may view things a bit differently and give some balance ) I don't just want light and dark - I want drama, lovies!
