Fabulous crispness in the silhouettes and the BG tree is wonderful and the pose awesome. The only very nit picking thing I could think of - would be to remove the small trees in FG to the lower left.

Another superb photograph Fabs. Where will you stop? :) I think silhouettes are tough to make when there is a busy environment like here because you know, you have to be able to tell what the subject is! And you did it so well here, to the point that there is a strong emotional content in your picture. I also like the almost 2D effect, if the oof trees in the background were not there it would look like a Chinese shadow theater.

Congrats and cheers,

Philippe.

What a beautiful shot! Were you ever a mere mortal like the rest of us???
I actually like the small trees in the foreground to the left they help to give
the "stair-step" effect from right to left and removing them would unbalance
the photo to the extent that I would then want a further crop.

Stunning image Fab and I love the color of the sky gradually going from dark to lighter and the wonderful composition. The bird with the branch really puts it over the top for me. This image has it all !!! Love it

Very nice action and story teller. I would go for a tighter crop to minimize distraction from vegetation in background and foreground.
Love that ND effect.

Some great color and I love the environmental view. I might crop a bit off the left side of the frame. Congrats on this visualization Fabs...
