there are funny halo's around the bird and some of the branches...is that over sharpening? to dark for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice but nothing spectacular.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the serenity of this. The bird looks like it's sitting so calmly surrounded by the business of the branches.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Silhouette of a bird, and a tree? and yet it's peaceful, feels good.

 03/12/2009 05:24:15 AM
needs a boost in contrast IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice dark tones, good placement of the bird.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:28:25 PM
Too bad the bird is not perched in a better position, the silhoutte of the trees just overwhelms that of the bird which I feel should be the main subject
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:26:00 AM
Nice silhouettes. A tighter crop might improve this photograph.
