10 commentsVery cool silhouette, Mario. I love the bg color and the pose is awesome.
Pretty cool image. The silhouette is very powerful. There is something odd with it though. The head is a different value of black than the rest of the body. I think I'd make it all the same level of black. This is most evident when reviewing the larger version.
Aren't the head and neck areas and the tails of these birds white? If so, that would explain the lighter shade on these areas in the image. Ireally like this. Quite spectacular.
This novel two-tone portrait works wonders. Sinister undertone and action packed. Well done, Mario.
Thanks for the feedback guys !
Jim is right .... The pure white color of the head is causing the lighter tone
<div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>I like the talons that reach forward, excellent silhouette action shot Mario
Powerful silhouette! What I really like though is the morning (evening?) light!
This is wonderful, very creative! Love it, Ray
Amazing shot Mario, can't believe you were able to capture such a close portrait of this bird in flight.
