    John, another great silhouette frame. I love you continuing to push on these.

    This has a Karate Kid feel haha. Brings back memories.

    I like the outline of the sun better here than the last with bait in the mouth. Personally, the comp works nicely and the colors are superb.

    Nicely presented!

    There is no mistaking this bird, and this image really looks good. The beak demands so much attention on its own (even in silhouette), so your decision to put the sun behind the rear/wings imparts the frame with a beautiful horizontal balance. Light through the nostril is a nice touch!
