    Default Black-necked Stilt Silhouette

    This photo was taken at dawn, as he had not sufficient light for a photograph "normal" I made some backlights Artie bulletin recalling that he had received the previous day! In a way, and without knowing it is dedicated to him, and that was the one who take the idea!

    Silhouettes are always fun to create, so whenever you get the chance don't pass it up! Good job on the techs and colours. Comp-wise I would have preferred the subject a little lower in the frame (or croppped a bit more from below).

    I think this one needs some rotation adjustment (counter-clockwise to a slight degree). Personally I prefer the bird smaller in the picture, probably because to me this image is more about the entire scene rather than the bird itself.

    Gorgeous water color. The bird's placement in the frame allows you to include more of the smooth OOF water in the FG, which I prefer to the water with more ripples in the BG.
