    The image was made yesterday. I boosted the saturation and cloned out a few twigs.

    Good looking shot Jim but I would have liked just a hint of the bird's bodies.

    Great silhouette Jim, looks the perched bird is in for a surprise any second, like the intense sunset coloring

    This silhouette woks well Jim against the intense orange BG - well seen and captured.

    I don't know if SHE was surprised, but she definitely seemed happy about it.

    Like the shot of these owls. The females horns showing well is really cool and the males flared wings and feet hanging make for a supper shot. Nice work
