Little too dark for me, not that you could do much about that at twilight (or predawn, whichever). I like the composition though.

Good silhouette effect Ken. Would be better is the two twigs in the lower portion weren't there.

Hey Ken you have a nice comp and I like the look, but I would clone out the two branches. :smile:
