Yellow Legs Sillouette at Sunset

[Jim Fenton]

I was actually there to capture the sunset when these two yellow legs flew in and landed sort of back to back.

This was captures seconds before the sun dipped behind a hill to the northwest and it really set the water on fire.

Nikon D2 Xs, 500 AFS II, TC14EII, ISO 500, f 8, matrix metering.

Love the composition, pose and certainly the golden light. The BG dappling in the top third is somewhat distracting; maybe judicious Gaussian Blur on the spots would help but not touching the nice fine-grain wave pattern to the left of the birds. Well-done silhouette!

[Fabs Forns]

Love the simplicity of your compo, great colors too!

[Raymond Barlow]

beautiful artistic image Jim., and the colour is really wonderful.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like this a lot. Great silhouette, golden light and well-balanced composition.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]
