IBIS Silhouette

[Michael Stern]

Hi,
This image was taken just as the sun was setting. Note: I did play with the background a little via gradients, if not it would have been a Flat uniteresting blue....
Hope you like it...all suggestion comments welcomed...
Best

Very interesting looking silhouette. Love the open bill on the top one and great body language between them. I'm not sure about the lightness in the LRC though. Congrats

I like the comp of the 2 birds.
I do not like the halo around the silhoutted images caused by sharpening.

Good interaction between the two individuals. I like the gradient you added (and thanks for disclosing it). It's very easy to introduce sharpening artefacts with silhouettes, which is what happened here - just be careful with those - also be careful with clipped toes :-)

P.S. I love the tranlucense of the primaries!

I like the action very much, also like the gradient.
I would try to clean up a bit the branches and leave only the thickest ones.
Very nice one.
