You're walking, so: What headlights? Anyhow:What can I say about this dog in the picture?
View attachment 4054
I was walking in the darkness and saw a dog ...
I know I can say "silhouetted against the headlights" or "caught in the headlights" but I want to know other ways of expressing it.
You're walking, so: What headlights? Anyhow:
. . . in the headlights.
. . . caught in the headlights' glare.
. . . lit up by the headlights.
Using the confuses it because you don't said what headlights. It was caught in the glare of headlights.The dog in the photo was caught in the headlights. I was picturing what it would be like if I saw this from the point of the view of the person who took the photo/video.
