Hi Milan, composition works really nice in my opinion. Love the orange empty room but I would try to adjust levels in the spoonbill to make it more dark/black

Hi!
Thanks! I have also version you suggest, but I somehow, I do not why exactly:), prefer original version.

Best!
Milan

Milan you do not need to have a reason to prefer the original image :) You like it and that is all that matter ;)

Bringing this image in levels and clicking the black eyedropper right in the middle of the head provides a stunning result. Excellent composition.

Silhouettes against a colourful BG always work well. The banking angle shows off more of the spoonbill nicely.

Fixed, I hope, at least its visible for me...

Yeap, I can see it now, lovely silhuette and nice comp, as I said in other posts, I prefer wide comps although for web use tighter crops usually are better to sohw more detail, but in this case, as it is a silhuette, it works for me as presented.
Congratulations!
