Nice colours and tones. I like the positioning of the bird. I may be tempted to remove the bottom darker line of clouds if the shots was mine but no biggy.

I wondered about the bottom clouds but felt it framed the bird more.

Hi Craig, I struggled with that when I first opened it and still can't decide but do find myself leaning toward removing the lower clouds.. I do understand why you left them and hence the dilemma :rolleyes:

Very nice; the dark clouds give the image a base, I'd leave them in!

I agree about leaving in the dark clouds at the base: they frame the image nicely. I like pictures with 'atmosphere', and this has it!

I would leave the clouds in as already said it gives the image a base.

I'd leave the base dark clouds in as well. A superb shot.

Hi Craig. Love that shot, but wonder if the yellows aren't overcooked a bit in the hotspots. I like silhouettes in which you can still identify the species.
