Very nice silhouette and light. I might add a bit more room at the bottom and wish for some separation between wing and head.

A classic silhouette! I agree with Axel about wanting separation between the wing and head. Thanks for posting!

Agree with the above comments. Pretty silhouette and good composition. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice exposure control. I only wish for the wing to be separated from the head.

Agree about the wing/head seperation, and there is some OOF stuff in the LLC that catches my eye. Still quite nice with the solid black silhouette.

I think that as presented works very well, regarding the wing separated from the head, it is true, it would look better, but the feel and the "soul" of the shot will not change... I like it very much!

Thank you all for taking the time to look and your comments, very much appreciated!

PS I too wish for the wing / head separation! Alas not to be (on this imgage). Maybe next.
