Little blue silhouette-repost

[Connie Mier]

Thanks to all who provided feedback on a previous post of mine, I went back and made some changes including rotation, increased temperature, gradient filter and darkening the bird. I also chose to place the bird in the upper corner, as a couple people suggested. Hope you enjoy this improvement.

Haven't see the frist one but this one is beautiful, the shadow in the water goes very well with silhouette. I love the mood in this picture.
