Hi MIke, I'm glad you posted a second and it's better focused than the first. A nice silhouette but I find the OOF vegetation on the LHS dominates it a little to much for my tastes. Might suit a vertical crop with the dark areas in the lower third of the frame and plenty of space at the top for editorial?
You might want to check your techs as well since the second image - your intended post has the following, including a different camera
Canon 50D, Unknown lens to 420mm focal length (300mm with 1.4x maybe?)
1/125 sec @ f4.0, ISO 1250
Kind regards,
Brett

I'm afraid this doesn't do it for me. For a silhouette to work it needs to be distinctive and although it is easy to tell that the animal is a deer this image does not have a 'proper' outline of the deer. The head is twisted in an awkward manner and spoils it for me. I also think the composition is a bit central. A fine sky but that alone does not make for a great image.
