Pairin' Heron

This was taken with a long lens in horrible light. I used levels to force it to even more of a silhouette, then I cropped into it and used a threshold photo filter to make it lose edge detail. Finally, there is a color gradient applied.

Thanks for the feedback below. I might actually prune the offending limbs and see what I think. It won't be easy, but it is certainly possible - especially if I do the clong before the artistic filtration. Oh, I can also relax the crop quite a bit. This might make the bird shapes more of a pleasant surprise when you find them.
