    Hi Sid!

    Nice color and composition. I think the crop is a little tight.
    The image makes me wonder if you could have walked 10 feet to the right and gotten the Heron in the sunball?

    Hi Sid -

    Gorgeous morning color! Nice composition with the bird balanced by the sun.
    I need to get to Waco some time soon!

    You are really making silhouettes your trademark style Sid. This is really nice.

    Great to see you posting Sid and a wonderful image it is. The lighting is gorgeous as well as a very stunning composition. I agree perhaps a little more room but a beautiful image as is.

    This is excellent Sid. The composition is fantastic. Love the silhouette and the trees goes very well with it.

    A great situation and a very good image. What bugs me is that the tree on the left side of the frame has been cut in half. As suggested above by several folks, going a bit wider might have been a great option. You have broken BAA Rule #27: if an object is worth including in the frame, it is almost always best to include the whole object and a small border around it...

    later and love, artie

    Beautiful image, has a painterly feel to it. I like it all, maybe the little bush on the left could be cropped a little but you would loose some sun.

    Wish this were in my portfolio!

    The Silhouette master strikes again! Very cool image, Sid! The pose of the bird and the sun in the clouds really combine to make this one stunning silhouette.

    Lovely silhouette but I agree about the tree/bush on the left. Still wish it were mine.
