Sometimes you have eto take things as they are handed to you and this was on of those occasions.

Fabs I love the colour and the totally black silhouettes here. At first I wasn't too sure if the two OOF birds in the URC, but I find that they do balance the foreground bird (and its shadow).

Fabs, Once again you made the "Sweet Lemonade" - If my image I might clone away the little bird since it dose not have much profile. Bob

Great light, composition and mood.

Hi Fabs, what I like about this is that you can still tell that a fish has been caught by the silhouette, lovely colours also :) Tell

[Harold Davis]

love the use of the gradient tool!! awesome colors!! the fish even gave you a good head angle!!

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Fabs,
I love the image as presented but I think that it would work equally well if you cloned out the OOF birds - a study in minimalism...
Beautiful colours!
Regards,

This is so beautiful. My favorite elements are the color and the fish. I like the OOF birds and think they are a good balance for the image.

Stunning color and lighting Fab and a very nice balance in this composition. Good eye as always my friend.

Hi Fab,

This works very well for me. Excellent composition.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the colors,light and mood!!!

[Arthur Morris]

Would not want to clone out the two back birds as they balance the COMP perfectly. Hard to tell if the bird with the fish has its head turned away a bit... Love the color and the light and the image.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

The composition works perfectly for me. Agree with Artie on the small bird balancing the compo - hence I too would not prefer it cloned out. Liked this image a lot. One thing that bothers a bit is the reddish vertical strip (perhaps a shadow of a tree or so) running in the middle.

Beautiful image to my eye, Fabs. Is there a bit of flash in the main bird's eye? It looks like there's a catchlight there, which is an added bonus.

Cheers,
Greg

Real interesting image, Fabs. Love how you saw and executed this. One small thing is there 's a dust spot in the ul corner.
