I watched this Snowy hunt up and down the river bank for several minutes. It was good light. I did increase the contrast a bit to get the full silhouette.

I like it a lot Paul !!!! Pretty light good bird placement and kept the head angle You should be able to brighten the colors a bit and would sharpen the edges of the silhouette Looks a lot better with clean sharp edges !!!!
Nice silhouette capture. I like the golden water and the dark waveline breaking on the shore. The purple tinge on the egret takes away from the shadow effect for me although the color goes well. Was that intentional?
