I like the simplicity of the image and the colors for sure. A noble effort Marc. Are they weavers' nests underneath?

[Mital Patel]

wonderful image indeed. could have easily cloned that bands near top of tree on bg gradient.

[Ilija Dukovski]

Very cool, I like it as it is....
The balance of dark base/ground and the weight of the tree crown and dark sky is nicely done here

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition, Marc. Dramatic bg indeed.. I like the hint of cool blue on top. The bird and the tree just stands out. TFS.

Marc:
Lovely image, great colors.
The only minus to my eyes is the blurry foreground edge, vs everything else being sharp.

Well seen and captured.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great concept. Lovely comp and great colours. Some sharpening halos are visible around the bird and trunk...tough sharpening silhouettes, and many times none needed for web. Great stuff!:cool:

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the composition of this sihlouette and the BG colours.

[Bhushan Dalvi]

Beautifully done. I like the composition and the BG color.

[Pieter de Waal]

Nice image with great detail against those wonderful background colours. Marc I am curious about the background please tell me more.

[Craig Brelsford]

Wow, just when you think it's time to put the gear away . . .

The shot is pleasing enough visually, but your "seeing" this shot--your seeing it as something worth shooting--is what I like best.

[Stu Bowie]

Beautiful two tone colours in the BG, and you have used this opportunity very well Mark. I would either add a bit more grond at the bottom, or take it away completely. As is, I feel its a bit narrow.
