Ravens at Dawn

[Dvir Barkay]

Two ravens sit on a dead tree in the middle of the Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley. The dawn light was starting to come up and made for a nice silhouette. I wish the second bird had been more prominent but they only sat there for mere moment. I didn't sharpen it a lot as I was afraid of halos, so it might not be sharp enough.

I like the colours and composition. Wish the raven on our left was in a more visible position like the right one. Interesting image Dvir.

Hi Dvir, lovely sunrise colour against the tree silhouette. I can see your idea, but feel the ravens are a bit small in the frame to make an impact, as there are a lot of silhouetted branches competing. The other raven in the tree is mainly obscured, so it doesnt add to the image. Still well done for presenting something different.

I like the concept, colours, silhouette. The more visible raven looks OK, the obscured one would not have been found by me had it not been mentioned. This would have been so cool had there been dozens of ravens!
