Rocking. Your boat did better than ours did.... Looks as if the bird is angling slightly away from you..... Sharp with sweet colors. Going all black on the SILH is an option.

It was great to find out that you are not an old guy my like me.

Hey Charles,
I like the color in the water....but generally I prefer my silhouettes all black......this still works very well as presented too....so nice job overall!

[Dumay de Boulle]

Very nice...The disturbed water and colour adds...I also prefer all black silhoettes...Still nicely done charles

Colours and water look great.

Nice timing on the grab as well.

Hey Charles, you made it ! Nice timing, I agree with the completely black silhouette thing, I'd even push the exposure up some more if it was mine.

[Daniel Cadieux]

That water is fantastic! Making the silhouette all black will take this a notch higher but I must admit I like it as is too.

[Charles Scheffold]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions - I guess I had the brightness turned down too far this morning because I thought it was all black. Here's a repost:

For me, the repost is a big improvement.

Great Image Charles, like the repost which creates a nice moody evening feel. As mentioned water colour and texture is excellent.
