You make me want to stay late to capture silhouettes. Nicely executed image capture and post processing. Looking at the image I wondered why you left the yellow fringing in a few places? Thank you for sharing, Artie.

Thanks Joe, The yellow fringing is the rim light from the setting sun. I can eliminate most of that by converting in ACR (rather than my usual DPP 4) and moving the Highlight slider all the way to the left while holding down the ALT key. At some point they pretty much disappear. But I like them so I left them :)
with love, artie

Excellent wing position, flight angle, composition and sweet BG. Top notch silhouette image Arthur.

A real beauty of a flight silhouette, with great wing position and rich color. It's no deal-breaker but I think I might like it better without the yellow fringing, for a more pure graphic image. But as always, just a matter of personal preference.

Really good silhouette frame, and I agree with leaving the yellow in. Even as a non US native I could see what the species was even before reading the title with the clarity of the outline. Great down stroke as well

Great image, lovely silhouette. Really like down stroke of the wings and the nice separation between them makes the silhoutte even better. On the yellow rims, I'm with the group of taking it out.

I think this is pretty abstract and cool, while being over the top at the same time. But maybe that is what is cool about it. Background certainly pushes the limit of what nature provides us but I like the refreshingly new take on the classic silhouette.

This almost looks like a graphic. Quite a remarkable shot with the black bird and stunning coloured background. I also like the rim light and composition fits well. Real stunner of a shot!
