That is really nice. Color is pretty, and the water ripples as you go through the region in focus gives a really nice effect.

I was pretty sure that I was gonna like this one when I saw the thumbnail. But I was wrong. I absolutely love it -- this one is a real wow! and put a big smile on my face, The super low angle and the raised foot put it over the top. The only thing that bugs me just a bit is the fog bank (???) on the right.
with love, artie

This one was well worth going into the drink. I like the light gradient as well (from left to right). TFS

That is a pretty much perfect silhouette image. Big wow from me. The raised foot and water surface texture are superb.

Dramatic to the max ! Stunningly beautiful colors.
-
Wonderful work Dorian, I also like how the foot is raised and sharp at the water line. Colors are great!
-
Perfect in every way Dorian. The color gradient, the color palette, the pose. All top notch. As is the processing.
-
Awesome colors.
I love the raised foot and water colors.

I have never been a big fan of silhouettes but this is something special. Love the colours , the position of the bird, the low POV and the raised foot. Very dramatic
-
Thanks you all for the kind words! This shot salvaged what was otherwise a very frustrating shoot. I just couldn't get things to line up nicely given the
light angle and backgrounds. I eventually folded those efforts, turned around, and shot into the sun instead. Stoked I did......
And Artie, water was about 6-8 inches deep. Lens hood was touching it for this shot.

Great silhouette. Love everything about this one.
-
Wow, nice low position and great light.
-
One of the best silhouettes I have seen! Nice colour and sharpness... Loved the perfect leg position.. Curious to know what post-processing was done...
-
Sweet! Well seen, captured and processed. Pose, color, POV all top notch.

This is absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing to add except "amazingly well done". Colour palette is exquisite and the raised foot with all four toes visible makes it even better. Bravo!
