Hey Gary, nice score! I love this shot. I like the silhouettes and love the BIG sun. Nice job.

The sky really adds drama to the silhouette. Nicely done.

Beautiful colors! I wish the portion of the pic with the bird was a bit closer crop, but the sun below is gorgeous as well. Nice silhouette and good composition overall.

If only this were sharper... It's quite a nice capture, otherwise.

The bird was supposed to be the main subject. In this photo, the bird is a tiny silhouette, nearly lost among the branches. I don't think this photo is very suitable for this particular challenge, but away from the challenge, I looooooove it!

The composition, the goofy color of the sky, the stark silhouettes ....... all together make a striking photo! The slight noise works well, too, in fact I think you could even have a lot more grain/noise in this shot. Very nice!

This is an awesome image. The color and bokeh are hypnotic. They overtake the bird by a long jump but it all works together very well. Beautiful work and good luck! 10

Love what you have done here. It looks like you have imagined it and painted this one.
