Happened to see this bird with the light behind it, took a shot just too see what it would look like. Certainly would like comments.

Very unusual. I like it. Even though it is a silhouette, there are details in it. Well done.

I love simple photos like this. It tells a story with no distractions. :toast: I would crop most of the white off and make this an outstanding vertical pano.

Very unusual John. This one has made me think a little bit. It looks to me like there is no detail at all in the shadow areas and I think that may actually be what I like about it. It almost looks more like ink and paper artwork to me. Did you remove all color and simply make this a black and white or is this actually how it was shot? I might knock a little bit off the top of the frame but that's a personal preference for sure. Looks like a greeting card. Not a bad thing.
