Edward Scissorhands and the Black Vulture

[George DeCamp]

Black Vulture, Anhinga Trail, ENP Florida

That's really not Edward Scissorhands, honest. :D

Made this image on the Anhinga Trail early in the morning. Was just a fun image so I thought I would post it. Probably should clean up those oof bunches of leaves.

and Aren't you George DeCamp?

What a lovely silhouette. The composition works very well. I know this spot very well!!

Excellent capture!

[Ted Scalzo]

Beautiful George-love the color.

[Bonnie Block]

Most excellent, George. We don't have enough sun here in the PNW to make a sillouette! LOL!
I'll just have to enjoy yours.

[Jim Poor]

Very nice! I like the colors in the BG along with a super silhouette.

[Tom Cudzilo]

They do look best when one cant see them dont they?? hehe.... love the image.

[Ed Cordes]

I like the colors and comp a lot. Yes, the OOF branches should go. I also find it hard to sharpen silhouettes. There is a halo that shows a bit.

[Robert D. Gregg]

I like the dot of sun peeking through the Black Vultures feet. Great silhouette!!

Great work, George! I really like this a lot. The vulture is very pronounced and his head is nice and parallel to the image plane; but, you're right... clean up that out of focus stuff! ;)

Nooooo, I love those leaves, they are part of the habitat and it would look too naked and like a poster without them, I keep mine :)

Agree with Fabs comments!!!
