Beautiful background colors Phil and I think the near silhouette works well. There does seem to be some background noise.

Well seen and composed. If it were mine, I'd run a noise filter over the whole shot to reduce the extensive color noise in the background.

Nice colors and silhouette ! (would also be a good entry into the Weekly Challenge this week).
Another round of NR would help here.

The impact of this image is great. I really like the pastel colors of the sunset. The perch shape is really striking as well. Very nice image.

I like the idea of this Phil it works very well with the Barn Owl because the shape of the bird gives it's identity away. Beautiful sunset colours, never saw any of these on my recent trip to Scotland. Graham
