GBH Silhouette

[Fabs Forns]

Everglades National Park, at civil twilight.

D3, 200-400/4 plus 1.7X
Wide open at f/6.7 -1/3 Ev
ISO 1600
Nik Color Efex dual color filter

I debated whether to crop him closer in the left, but decided the little branch provided balance and left it as is.
Comments appreciated!

Very nice, Fabs! For me, I'd go even tighter than you first thought... this is screaming vertical!! I think it has a ton of impact as a vert... and I owe you a BeePNogie photo :D

[Jim Poor]

That perch is going to become famous! :D I think cropping from the left would give a more stark impact to the silhouette.

[Alfred Forns]

Jim famous is not the word for it !!!!!!

Would go tighter but still horizontal Since its such clean image might do some gardening at the bottom !!!! High impact and love it !!!

[Jeroen Stel]

I agree with Alfred, tighter but horizontal with a tad more space on the right side.
Well done!
A true "forns" style image!

I Iove the colors and pose,l would crop the small brunch on the left,but it`s only my opinion!

[Sid Garige]

I will go for a vertical on this Fabs.

[George DeCamp]

I love it....and you know why! *lol*
Very cool Fabs!

[Jody Melanson]

I agree with Blake on this one, Fabs.....

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

Fabiola, I love it as is. Only thinking was the leftmost branch but finally I would leave it the way you composed.

I guess there are lots of options for alternative compositions here Fabs, but don't know that any suggested would be "better" than your choice. Very eye-catching and dramatic image as is.

"I guess there are lots of options for alternative compositions "

Here is one.

[James Shadle]

Here is another.

So many options!
It boils down to personal taste.

I like the original but with the left branch cropped.The open bill is a great plus to me !!

[Maxis Gamez]

James crop works for me. Excellent capture regardless.

[Krijn Trimbos]

I'll echo Maxis comments. Very nice silhouette Fabs!
