Shot this yesterday morning. I love these dramatic-looking backlit shots. I have others with fill-flash that illumines the front features, but opted to post this silhouette image because I like the overall impact of the image better. Hope you like it.

keep looking up,

Intersting shot, dash! :roll:
Would suggest a crop from bottom up to the end of branch.

Striking and different... a great shot! This would make a nice magazine cover.

Love this shot. Juan is exactly right about what he said. I think a slight crop from the bottom might feel a bit more natural

Awesome!!!

Having the perch coming into the frame in the LLC would be a stronger comp, which would mean cropping up from the bottom IMO.

I love the atmosphere it evokes, not only the bird but also the background
