G'day *Sean*!

What a lovely nice crisp and clear silhouette and with that powerful yellow/orange/black contrast it has me drooling.
Would you like to experiment with a crop? I am thinking of raising the bottom edge until it elieminates that small patch of water on our right. This will reduce the amount of black so that it is less overwhelming. Follow this by bringing our right edge in until it eliminates that space between the pylons. This will concentrate the viewer's eye to all the action of the landing pelicans and the one gretting them. You may then have to bring the top edge down slightly to maintain the format. Give it a go if the resolution can handle it, you might like it. (Justathort!) 8~)
I quite like the gradient of light and colour coming in from our left. It makes the image less predictable.

Perfect silhouette... but it's the diagonal perch line meeting the crisp horizon that does it for me. Amazing.

Just notice that there is three bird flying in the back but at first glance it looks like back dots and distract the whole pleasant view. I would remove that bird using PS.

@byLoreen72 The sky this night was extremely orange with a similar reflection in the water but I did add to it enough to totally black out the silhouettes of the birds, which strengthened the orange/yellow colors in the sky and water.

Beautiful silhouettes and brilliant color tones! Is this as seen or a touch of PS magic going on here?

Amazing color and beautiful silhouettes. I would remove the extra black specs in the sky. I guess they're birds but they're too small to tell for sure.

JittokuThis is such a gorgeous shot!
14 October 2011The only thing that might make it even more perfect for me would be if that brightness from the sun were directly behind the two birds in flight, instead of to the left like that ... but ... hey ... not a big deal ... :)
Oh ... and to borrow from you, I'm not even a big fan of color! LOL ... just joking ... ;)
