Ibis Silhouette

[Steve Deam]

I captured this during a beautiful sunset in Cedar Key, Florida. The only post work was to increase the black level slightly to block it out.



Here's a repost, trying to take in the suggestions...



Here is the un-cropped image for reference. I'm planning to make a print of this one for the wall, so I welcome all suggestions... Feel free to crop and post it back if you want.

I like the colors and rim light, but it is extremely tight on top.
Good sharpness, thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve - for my personal tastes - more room all around - too tight in the frame.
Love the colours and nice and sharp.
Good show :)

Steve, I really like your idea here!
The silhouette is nice, and great colors.
I envision a vertical crop here, to give much more room on top - both top and bottom additions could be easily cloned in, if you wished to extend the canvas.

Cheers -

Sandy

Love those colours and the rim lighting.

Hi Steve

When you need to repost just post in a reply, better than with the original !!

Like the second, stronger image ... btw for any of these its important sharpening the edges of the silhouette, they just pop out more !!!
