Manos, You are the Master of Silhouettes. This is spectacular. You need to uncrop from the bottom as you have cut off the virtual feet, i.e., the feet below the water are still there. You need to crop as if we could see them and even leave room for a border (around the feet that we cannot see...)

later and love, artie

Thanks a lot teacher!
Always I will try to be improved and to learn from you

[Mike Wilson]

This is gorgeous. Artie took the words right out of my mouth on the crop. The color of the background alone makes the shot but add that dramatic wing position, whew, very nice.

Other the the virtual feet, an excellent image.

This is the full frame image,but it is a bit tilted
Unfortunately i have not room at the bottom

[Isak Pretorius]

Great sillouette! Lovely colour and that open wings filling the frame work very well!

The repost looks much better, that orange almost hurts. :) I might desaturate the BG a little bit as it appears slightly posterized in the upper right and maybe a bit CCW rotation.

[Arthur Morris]

Better, but I would prefer even more room. You need some space below the end of the virtual feet. It is, however, still a killer. Later and love, artie

I like it very much! This weekend at Kerkini I will try to get something like this:)
