Well, another image created during my last trip to Córdoba, one afternoon when we were returning from our Andean Condor spot, we find a group of these wonderfull birds, the sun had been gone for a while but these young male refused to stop singing proudly standing on his rock, so I slowly got as close as I wanted to create this image, hope you like it! Enjoy!!

Muy buena Ramon!

I like this image for various reasons, but the one that I like it the most is because you are using two cold colors here, and that is different.

I might be tempted to crop a little more to isolate the bird.

Great job.

I love silhouettes and this one is a beauty! I might crop it just a bit tighter as well. A winner image indeed!

Maybe crop into a square or more of a vertical? SO different and I do like it! :)

Ramon, what makes this for me is the fading backlight. Wonderful silhouette, and nice placement in the frame. Congrats, I like this lots.

Lovely image - love the open feeling to this and nice to have alot of open space around the bird.
Super colours! Well done Ramon!

I like the mood and pose in this one. Did you get some images of this species earlier, too?

We don't often see silhouettes against a blue BG, but this really works for me. The singing pose and excellent sharpness really add to the overall image. Well done!
