Beautiful. I really like that color.

This is one case where I think that getting higher would helped. Why? I like the darker BG better than the lighter sky behind the head.

A grad filter might have accomplished the same thing.

Manos I also like this image. I might have been tempted to boost the contrast substantially to try for a sihlouette but without a split Neutral density filter for the bright upper 1/2 of the image it might not have worked.

Hi stephen,
I tried for a silhouette but I did not like the results of bg`s colors!
I wish to find a better way for better bg`s colors

Hi Jim,
agree for a darker bg behind the head

[Bill Foxworthy]

Love the colors and also light the dark to light background!

[Grace Scalzo]

Very artistic and beautiful. Has a firey feel with that rim lighting. Love how you can see the light thru the beak and the raised foot.

Apart from the brightest band in the upper BG and the one cutting through the legs I really like this image. I don't mind that we can still see a bit of detail on the bird. Very serene!

[Philip Lombard]

The head BG can be coreccted easy, using the dropper and brudsh tool on a low opacity.the rest is great as is.

[Linda Robbins]

Lovely image. I like the graduated color of the bg, and the backlighting really works in this image. The opacity of the bird is just right to my eye. Very well done.

Very nice Manos,
Love the compositon and nice marmalade background.

Congrats...:D
